Hemospray is a proprietary mineral blend powder developed specifically for endoscopic hemostasis. It contains no human or animal proteins or botanicals and has no known allergens. Hemospray is metabolically inert and deemed nontoxic, systemically or otherwise. Over the years, similar materials have been used by the military for topical battlefield hemostasis applications.
In three steps you can deploy Hemospray to treat nonvariceal upper GI bleeds.
1. Activate the C02 cartridge
2. Open the valve
3. Spray toward the source of bleeding
An ease of use comparison was made for 79 patient treatments in a postmarket clinical registry and Hemospray was determined to be comparable to or easier than administration of other hemostasis treatment modalities.
Hemostasis was achieved in under 10 minutes in over 77% of cases with Hemospray. Hemospray was thought to save time in 59% of cases (57/97).
