HEMOSTATIC BANDAGE FOR OOZING TO SEVERE BLEEDING CONTROL IN TRAUMA AND WOUND CARE
HemCon Bandage PRO is ideally suited for quick bleeding control in a variety of external wound types and is easily administered with current protocol of dressing and direct pressure.
• Cost effective:
Lower cost than other alternatives; standardizes the number of SKUs ordered. Rapid bleeding control can result in less need for cauterization.
• Fast Hemostasis:
Stops bleeding from oozing to severe arterial in minutes¹˒²˒³; minimizes blood loss. Reduced blood loss can reduce the need for transfusions.
• Dependable:
Maintains structural integrity that won't crack, crumble or shed in wounds; creates a strong clot; provides localized support of clotting.
• Easy to Use:
Reduces direct pressure protocol to free up staff; intuitive application requires limited training; addresses a variety of wound types.
• Safe:
Works independently of the clotting cascade; provides an antibacterial barrier against 24 microorganisms including MRSA, VRE, A. baumannii and C. difficile; no known contra-indications.
INDICATION FOR USE
The HemCon Bandage PRO is a hemostatic dressing for the external, temporary control of severely bleeding wounds, intended for emergency use. The HemCon Bandage PRO also controls bleeding in patients following hemodialysis and is indicated for the control of bleeding from the skin at percutaneous needle access, vascular access, and percutaneous catheter access sites.
HOW HEMCON BANDAGES WORK
HemCon products are made from chitosan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide. Chitosan is positively charged, attracting negatively-charged red blood cells and platelets. This ionic interaction creates a supportive, primary seal at the wound site independent to the clotting cascade to control all degrees of bleeding.
APPLICATION GUIDE
- Apply HemCon Bandage PRO directly over actively bleeding wound with tan backing away from wound. If necessary, the bandage can be cut or folded to the size of the wound.
- Hold pressure until bleeding is controlled.
- Apply outer bandage wrap (not included) to secure dressing on wound site, if required.
- Recheck the wound for potential bleeding as necessary. If hemostasis is not achieved or for recurrent bleeding, remove patch with saline or water and re-apply a new patch until hemostasis is achieved.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
- The HemCon Bandage PRO can remain in place for up to 48 hours and should be removed with water or saline.
