Narrative Description
The ideal hemostat would provide immediate and flexible control of mild, moderate, and severe bleeding, reduce expenses, and save lives.
​
Bleeding from arterial access sites (interventional cardiology) and arteriovenous access sites (dialysis) delays time to discharge, reduces patient satisfaction, increase demands on staff, and overloads recovery units.
Bleeding and hemorrhage remain the single greatest preventable cause of death in civilian and military trauma.
