Description
Key Features:
Kaolin Technology: The dressing's kaolin works by activating Factor XII, a key protein in the body's clotting process. This interaction significantly speeds up the formation of a stable blood clot, stopping hemorrhage faster than standard gauze.
Rapid Hemostasis: Its primary design purpose is to stop bleeding quickly, which is critical for stabilizing patients and preventing significant blood loss in both emergency and surgical scenarios.
Ease of Use: The dressing is intuitive to apply. Healthcare providers can use the same placement techniques as they would with traditional gauze, which means minimal additional training is required.
X-Ray Detectable: A blue X-ray detectable strip is embedded within the gauze. This safety feature ensures the dressing can be easily located in post-procedural imaging, preventing it from being accidentally left inside a patient.
Safe and Inert: Kaolin is an inert, non-allergenic mineral. It does not generate heat upon application, making it safe for use on a wide variety of patients.
Sterile Packaging: Each dressing is sterile and individually sealed in an easy-to-open pouch, allowing for proper aseptic technique during application.
Primary Uses:
