About BloodSTOP™ and the Military
On and off the battle field, bleeding is a major cause of disability and death for soldiers.
Soldiers need a quick and effective way to stop bleeding and protect wounds. Medics and soldiers
can use BloodSTOP™ and BloodSTOP™ iX to save blood and lives.
When a bleeding wound occurs from shrapnel or firearms, a soldier or medic can quickly apply a
BloodSTOP™ hemostatic gauze to the site, and within seconds it interacts with the blood to form a transparent
hemostatic gel shield. This gel shield stops bleeding and protects the wound site from the environment
and infectious agents and it has enough tensile strength to keep most wounds or lacerations intact.
While BloodSTOP™ goes to work to reduce blood loss, medics can focus on stabilizing the wounded.
BloodSTOP™ iX is the ideal tool for field surgeons to use internally. It can be custom cut or
formed to fit specific surgical needs as well as hard to reach bleeders.
In a wide area bleeding situation, surgeons can apply several gauzes to stop the bleeding
so they can focus on the operative task.
BloodSTOP gauzes work quickly and are easy to use under the stressful conditions that soldiers face.
