Hemolock Hemostatic Wound Gauze

The fluffy texture and the properties of Carboxymethyl Chitosan allows the gauze to quickly absorb any exudate and stop bleeding. When the gauze is applied onto a bleeding wound and subjected to pressure, the positively charged chitosan substance cross-links with negatively charged red blood cells and sticks together forming a sticky and robust pseudo clot, This adhesive-like action seals the wound and rapidly controls bleeding.

FAQs:

1.How is Hemolock Hemostatic Wound Gauze different from regular bandages?
The biggest difference between Hemolock Hemostatic Wound Gauze and regular bandages is the addition of chitosan which enables it to promote wound healing while stopping bleeding. What’s more the dressing is designed to be cuttable and spliceable, and can be adjusted according to the position and size of the wound.
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide extracted from marine organisms and crustaceans, characterized by biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biological activity. Research has shown that chitosan has the effect of promoting wound healing, and its main mechanisms include the following:

• Promoting cell proliferation and differentiation: Chitosan can promote the proliferation and differentiation of skin cells, thereby accelerating wound healing. Chitosan can activate cell proliferation, such as epidermal growth and matrix metalloproteinase, and promote cell proliferation and extracellular matrix degradation.
• Anti inflammatory: Chitosan can inhibit inflammatory and reduce the interference of inflammation on wound healing. Chitosan can inhibit leukocyte chemotaxis and adhesion, reduce the release of inflammatory mediators, and thus reduce inflammatory.
• Promote angiogenesis: chitosan can promote angiogenesis, improve blood circulation, and accelerate wound healing. Chitosan can activate vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, promoting angiogenesis and repair.
• Antibacterial: Chitosan has a certain antibacterial effect, which can inhibit wound infection and reduce the interference of bacteria on wound healing.

2.Can I use this Hemolock Hemostatic Wound Gauze to treat the wounds of diabetes patients？
Yes. Wounds of patients with diabetes usually take longer to heal, because diabetes may lead to poor blood sugar control, which affects blood circulation and nerve function, and may lead to higher infection rate and slower healing process. The chitosan added in the gauze can effectively promote the healing of wounds even on patients with healing deficiencies.
