Mechanism of Blood Clotting
- Biopolymer is a molecule with positive electric charge, which strongly attracts and bonds with the RBC cell membrane which is negatively charged, resulting in blood clotting.
- Biopolymer swelling action leads to absorption of body fluids. This molecule has antimicrobial properties as well which can keep the wound safe until treated.
- The bleeding timeline is significantly less which indicates that the bioploymer-based dressing is superior to standard gauze dressing
Uses
HARMOSTAT absorbs, exudates, cushions the wound, hides the wound from view and provides a barrier from contamination and can save many lives by stopping the bleeding.
FAQS
Why is a bleeding control kit necessary?
Bleeding control kits are becoming more and more necessary to handle unintended injuries. Both the general public and the emergency services have access to these kits. In cases of catastrophic bleeding where applying pressure is insufficient to stop the bleeding, bleed control kits are crucial.
What makes Harmostat Bleed Injury Control Kit different from a First Aid Pack?
Medical tape, gauze, and cold packs are typically included in basic first aid kits. It is a standard item in every home, workplace, and vehicle. While basic first aid supplies are tremendously helpful, they may not be able to stop the bleeding that poses a risk of fatality. The Harmostat Bleed Injury Management System, on the other hand, are trauma kits that can be used by paramedics or even bystanders who have training. Our kits come with everything needed to stop bleeding injuries. They are not intended to cure burns, minor cuts, or abrasions rather, they are intended to treat excessive bleeding and haemorrhaging.
