Prehospital Wound Care

For Paramedics, First Response, and EMS Injuries

BloodSTOP® iX Trauma Matrix is designed for burn, trauma, and blast wound care in mass casualty scenarios. It effectively meets the need for hemorrhage control, allowing rapid and stable hemostasis, especially during long transport. Upon application, BloodSTOP iX rapidly and significantly reduces blood loss and has demonstrated an excellent safety profile in the current clinical findings.

BloodSTOP iX is an all-natural, plant-based, biocompatible, water-soluble etherified carboxymethyl cellulose (eCMC) matrix that utilizes patented technology to achieve superior hemostasis.

Top trauma and burn surgeons recognize it as the best solution for hemostasis and wound healing. The only technology in the marketplace that achieved 100% survival rate on extremity arterial hemorrhage using U.S. military standard trauma injury protocol in a swine model1

    BloodSTOP iX Trauma Matrix Stops Femoral Artery Bleeding

    A preclinical study analyzed the effectiveness of BloodSTOP iX Trauma Matrix in stopping arterial hemorrhage. The study design was based on a standard U.S. military battlefield extremity wound model. BloodSTOP iX achieved a 100% survival rate in the extremity arterial hemorrhage and showed significantly shorter times to hemostasis when compared to the Combat Gauze control group.
