Application That’s Easy!
Applying HEMOBLAST™ Bellows to a targeted bleeding site is extremely simple with 4 easy steps:
STEP 1
Blot Excess Blood
Blot excess blood from the target bleeding site with gauze/pad or suction. The wound surface should be as dry as possible just before application.
STEP 2
Apply HEMOBLAST™ Bellows
Apply HEMOBLAST™ Bellows to the bleeding site by compressing the bellows. Enough implant material (multiple layers, if needed) should be applied to cover the entire source of bleeding.
STEP 3
Hold Wet Lap Pad
Immediately apply wound-appropriate pressure using a wet laparotomy pad. Hold for approximately 3 minutes. Gently lift the laparotomy pad and inspect the area.
STEP 4
Irrigate Excess
Once hemostasis is achieved, excess powder should be removed from the site of application by irrigation and aspiration.
If Hemostasis has not been achieved, repeat steps 1-3 or use an alternative method of hemostasis treatment.
Please refer to the Instructions for Use for full prescribing information.1
