HemoPore®

Hemostatic Bioresorbable Nasal Dressing

Chitosan lactate

Firm compression strength/stenting

All the qualities you like, now with hemostatic action

You asked, and we responded. Our new HemoPore bioresorbable nasal dressing delivers all the qualities you like in NasoPore® dressings, plus the added clinical benefits of a hemostatic agent. With chitosan lactate blended directly into our proprietary synthetic polymer dressing, testing showed they worked together without sacrificing any existing performance characteristics.1 The dressing’s firm compression strength further aids hemostasis, helps prevent adhesions and minimizes edema while maintaining structure separation and stabilization. The result is reliable tissue support and hemostatic control that avoids the need for separate topical hemostats.

Unique two-way action Tissue support plus platelet activation and aggregation

�5�In vitro findings showed HemoPore dressings prompted higher platelet activation and aggregation than similar hemostatic products and NasoPore Firm, thus accelerating blood coagulation and healing.2 Combined with 36-48 hours of tissue support and stenting, HemoPore dressings are designed to fulfill your clinical needs on many levels.

Chitosan

Proven to drive the wound healing process3

Several ground-breaking medical advancements have emerged from military science, and chitosan as a hemostatic agent is no exception3. There are several publications on the use of this polysaccharide in medical products to drive the wound healing process:

– Spurs resting platelets into activation; helping them adhere to collagen4-6

– Fosters platelet aggregation; forming platelet plugs that accelerate blood coagulation4, 6-8

– Has inherent anti-microbial properties9

– Helps avoid the need for direct acting topical hemostats

– Complies with safety and biocompatibility standards for use in humans
