When applied directly to an actively bleeding wound, each HemoStase particle acts as a molecular sieve to instantly extract fluids from blood.

This powerful osmotic action causes the particle to expand and concentrates serum proteins, platelets and other formed elements on its surface.

The particles and their coating of compacted cells create a scaffolding for the formation of a tenacious fibrin clot within just minutes of application.

The HemoStase particles are fully absorbed and enzymatically cleared from the wound site in less than 48 hours.
