Benefits of HemoStyp®
-
HemoStyp® is an all-natural product comprised of regenerated oxidized
cellulose gauze which is specifically formulated to speed the process
of hemostasis (clotting) when positioned on a cut or wound.
-
Unlike the other products in the wound care market, HemoStyp® contains
no potentially harmful chemicals or animal byproducts and is
hypoallergenic.
-
Once it has completed its task, it is easily removed by dissolving it
in water or saline solution. This method of removal neither disturbs
the clotted surface nor encourages re-bleeding, which is a significant
problem with traditional gauze products.
