How Does HypaStop Haemostatic Gauze Work?
This haemostatic gauze is used to kick start the clotting process through a chemical reaction. This is accomplished when the haemostatic agent in the gauze imitates a chemical that the body requires for the clotting process.
This agent can then be drawn into the blood stream and start the clotting that would occur naturally, meaning that the wound will close more rapidly than if the casualty were to wait for their body to create the chemical itself.
