Fabric Pads, Gauzes and Sponges• Trim to fit in the bleeding area
• Difficult to use trimmings for non-sterile area !• Some are absorbable
• Weeks to be absorbed !• Should remove when applied in sensitive areas
• Could also remove the clot if proper procedure is not followed !• Most are of animal origin (bovine or porcine)
• Could result in allergic reaction • Regulatory concern !
• Some are of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose • Weeks to be absorbed !
• Some are of Oxidized Cellulose • Weeks to be absorbed
STOP the bleed
Sutures
• Use on severed arteries and blood vessels !
• Catgut supply becoming limited due to BSE issues !
• Synthetic suture not always absorbable !
• Some synthetic suture knots could lose tension resulting in seepage !
• Hemostasis use limited to type of bleeders
STOP the bleed
Lasers
• Generated coagulation by generation of heat !
• Limited use !
• Equipment could be very expensive
STOP the bleed
Powders
• Over the counter Blood Stop Powders • Non-sterile • Use only on topical wounds !
• Sterile Hemostatic Powders used in surgery • Oxidized Cellulose (OC) • Cotton Fiber
STOP the bleed
HemaBlock, LLC and Vet Brands International, Inc. announced that they are now re-launching the well-known hemostatic agent, HemaBlock Hemostatic Powder
after a long absence in the market. HemaBlock is specially formulated to the needs of veterinary general practitioners as well as surgeons and critical care providers.
!HemaBlock powder is a kinetically charged blend that utilizes the unique
Microporous Polysaccharide Bead (MPB) technology combined with micronized fibrils of re-absorbable oxidized cellulose, which complements the safety and
efficacy of the active MPB technology for veterinary use. The sterilized micro-beads act like a molecular sieve to rapidly dehydrate the blood, thereby accelerating the natural clotting process. The clot breaks down enzymatically inside the body in a
matter of days to insure no adverse issues with patient healing, making HemaBlock the safest and most effective blood clotting powder available to veterinarians.

• 100% plant origin !
• Contains two ingredients • 50% Microporous Polysaccharide Beads (MPB) Delivered from potato starch. • 50% Oxidized Cellulose (OC) Derived from cotton fiber
!• MPB is the primary clo3ng agent !• Combina8on of MPB and OC

hemostasis.
• Remove excess blood to easily identify bleeders and allow applying HemaBlock Powder directly on the active bleeder.
• Apply plenty of HemaBlock Powder on the bleeder. Be sure to completely cover the bleeding area.
• Steady Pressure needs to be applied to stop the flow of the bleeders for approximately 1 to 2 minutes
to allow time for HemaBlock Powder to create the clot.
• Irrigate the wound area with saline solution to remove excess powder to check for bleeders might have missed.
• Delivered hemostasis (clotting) is evident after irrigation and the wound site is ready for traditional closure methods.
