HemaBlock, LLC and Vet Brands International, Inc. announced that they are now re-launching the well-known hemostatic agent, HemaBlock Hemostatic Powder

after a long absence in the market. HemaBlock is specially formulated to the needs of veterinary general practitioners as well as surgeons and critical care providers.

!HemaBlock powder is a kinetically charged blend that utilizes the unique

Microporous Polysaccharide Bead (MPB) technology combined with micronized fibrils of re-absorbable oxidized cellulose, which complements the safety and

efficacy of the active MPB technology for veterinary use. The sterilized micro-beads act like a molecular sieve to rapidly dehydrate the blood, thereby accelerating the natural clotting process. The clot breaks down enzymatically inside the body in a

matter of days to insure no adverse issues with patient healing, making HemaBlock the safest and most effective blood clotting powder available to veterinarians.

• Apply plenty of HemaBlock Powder on the bleeder. Be sure to completely cover the bleeding area.

• Steady 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.

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

• Delivered hemostasis (clotting) is evident after irrigation and the wound site is ready for traditional closure methods.
