Velseal®-Patch is an optimal haemostatic dressing to control bleeding post-renal dialysis. The ready to use dressing consists of a polymeric haemostatic pad on non-woven fabric coated with adhesive. The novel haemostatic patch is impregnated with clot promoting and clot stabilizing agents. When applied, the Velseal®-Patch fastens the blood clotting process reducing the time required for clot formation. It thereby prevents the excessive bleeding post renal dialysis.
Properties
A novel haemostatic dressing that aids in blood clotting at the dialysis puncture site.
Highly porous and absorbs fluid 12-15 times of its weight.
Prevents the loss of natural clotting factors to initiate the clotting cascade.
Adhesive is non-irritant and gentle to the skin.
Biocompatible dressing.
No secondary dressing is required.
Even effective in patients with high blood pressure and/or are on anti-coagulants.
Used for haemodialysis patients.
Action
The interconnected small voids of porous PEC sponge provide a very large surface area for the flowing blood and prevent the loss of natural clotting factors to initiate the clotting cascade.
The pad expands on contact with blood to 12-15 times its original size.
The blood clotting process occurs within the voids which then travels towards the puncture site.
Further, the presence of impregnated naturally derived clotting factors & stabilizer intensifies the clotting action. The clot stabilizing agent prevents the disintegration of clot formed.
Natural blood clotting continues to the injured blood vessel without affecting flow characteristics of circulating blood.
