It is an ideal, absorbable hemostatic agent for a wide variety of veterinary surgical, dental and topical procedures. It is also safe to use in any case where bleeding is presented from general trauma to other surgical applications, such as biopsies (liver, spleen, pancreas, etc.), lobectomies, spays, neuters, suture lines, mass removals, amputations, orthopedic surgeries, and anywhere hemorrhage control is an issue. HemaBlock Hemostatic Powder is completely sterile, stops the bleeding, and is perfect for large wound areas.

How does HemaBlock Hemostatic Powder work?
The active ingredient in HemaBlock Hemostatic Powder is the Microporous Polysaccharide Beads (MPB) technology which is derived from potato starch. The MPB act as a molecular sieve to rapidly dehydrate blood and concentrate clotting proteins, red blood cells, and platelets to promote almost instantaneous gel formation which accelerates the natural clotting cascade. The MPB are combined with Oxidized Cellulose (OC) micro-fibers (derived from cotton fibers) which together enhance rapid hemostasis (the stopping of blood flow) and absorb enzymatically in a matter of a few days.
Cautions:
HemaBlock cannot be resterilized in a clinic environment. Avoid contact with the eyes. HemaBlock is intended for use in a dry state. Contact with saline or other solutions prior to achieving hemostasis will result in the loss of hemostatic potential. If the bleeding cannot be stopped, contact your veterinarian immediately.
HemaBlock Hemostatic Powder Directions:
- Remove excess blood.
- Apply powder liberally over the wound.
- Light pressure with your clean finger or a non-stick pad is recommended after application of the powder to a bleeding wound site.
- Hold pressure for about 1-2 minutes and then inspect for bleeding.
- Take care to slowly remove pressure to minimize the chance of pulling up the clot as it forms.
It's recommended to irrigate the wound after stopping the flow of blood for a better field of view and to deactivate any excess dry powder not entrained in the clot. If bleeding persists reapply more powder.
