About BloodSTOP and Surgery
All Surgery
Surgeons will find BloodSTOP and BloodSTOP iX essential tools to control bleeding.
BloodSTOP is ideal for external wound bleeding management, while BloodSTOP iX is a fast and
easy solution to internal bleeding control. Upon contact with blood, these hemostatic gauzes
interact with the clotting factors of blood and turn into a cosmetically clear gel shield that
stops the bleeding and protects the site. These transparent shields are cosmetically pleasing,
and allow the surgeon to monitor the wound.
BloodSTOP and BloodSTOP iX can be easily removed with saline or water irrigation.
A BloodSTOP iX hemostatic gauze can be custom cut or formed to fit hard to reach bleeders and tight spaces,
or multiple gauzes can be placed to stop wide area bleeding. Stopping bleeding with BloodSTOP iX
is less traumatic to tissue than cauterization, and its speed allows surgeons to focus on the operative
task.
