Description
What Is It?
StatSeal Powder is a non-prescription topical powder that quickly forms a seal to stop external bleeding and oozing from wounds and procedures. The powder’s ingredients are a hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate.
How Does It Work?
The mechanism of action is a simultaneous two-step action whereby the hydrophilic polymer rapidly dehydrates the blood and absorbs exudate while the potassium ferrate agglomerates blood proteins to create a seal. StatSeal Powder does not depend on the body’s natural clotting mechanism to form a seal.
