Topical wounds

Nail trimmings

• The clot will start being absorbed almost immediately after enclosed in the wound

• Hemablock could reduce cost in surgical and dental procedures

• Less time patient on the operating table

• Less time patient under anesthesia

• HemaBlock powder is excellent for control seepage along suture line

• Sterile HemaBlock powder for control bleeding with all types of surgery

R.A.P.I.D.

For successful results with HemaBlock the five R.A.P.I.D. steps should be followed.

R.A.P.I.D.

Remove excess blood to easily identify bleeders and allow applying HemaBlock Powder directly on the active bleeder.

R.A.P.I.D.Apply plenty of HemaBlock Powder on the bleeder.

• Be sure to completely cover the bleeding area

R.A.P.I.D.Pressure Enough 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.

R.A.P.I.D.

Irrigate the wound area with saline solution to remove excess powder to check for bleeders might have missed.

R.A.P.I.D.Delivered hemostasis (clotting) is evident after irrigation and the wound site is ready for traditional closure methods.
