Hemostatic Agents

Temporary Topical external hemostats that are fast, safe, easy to use and effective.  Our proprietary chitosan granule technology has been proven to control bleeding on a broad variety of wounds, even in the presence of common anticoagulants and shows many of the characteristics of an ideal hemostat, including cost-effectiveness. (Johnson et al, Milner et al & Snyder & Sigal et al, 2013)

Excessive bleeding can put patients at risk and lead to complications, including death. According to a 2018 review, every year more than 60,000 Americans die from uncontrolled hemorrhage or blood loss.
