Velseal-Patch- “A novel solution for bleeding problems in post-hemodialysis patients”

Dialysis is a treatment that filters and purifies the blood in your body by passing it through a machine to be cleaned. We need dialysis when the kidneys stop working properly.

Dialysis does some of the things done by healthy kidneys, which includes removing waste, salt and extra water to prevent them from building up in the body. This helps in keeping safe levels of certain chemicals in your body for example potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate.

DIALYSIS NEED:
A person needs dialysis on developing an end-stage renal failure, which is indicated by an 85-90% kidney function loss and a glomerular filtration rate of less than 15.

Do You Know?
An average life expectancy on dialysis is only 5-10 years, however, dialysis has helped patients to live for 20 or even 30 years.

Current Procedure for post-hemodialysis bleeding:
It’s important to stop blood loss post renal dialysis, as soon as possible. It is seen as a simple problem but many times it is very difficult to manage.

Post-hemodialysis site haemorrhage (PHSH) requires a lot of time, effort and expertise to stop. This is also because of the anti-coagulants, like heparin, which has been given to the patients as a part of the dialysis procedure so that blood flows freely through the fistula or graft.

These anti-coagulants make the blood thin and thus bleeding occurs more easily and is harder to stop. There are different steps, which can be followed to stop post-hemodialysis bleeding at the puncture site.

The main two steps used are:

1. DIRECT PRESSURE:
A firm pressure applied right on the bleeding spot with a gauze or cotton roll until the bleeding stops. The amount of time required to stop the bleeding with direct pressure can vary. In some cases, it takes only 20-30 minutes and in certain cases when the patient also suffers from other medical conditions, like high B.P, a low platelet count or diabetes, it can take anywhere from 50 minutes to upward of an hour. Once the bleeding has stopped a fresh gauze and tape is applied.

2 TORNIQUET:
A sterile elastic tourniquet can also be applied along with direct pressure to stop bleeding. Strong & direct pressure is an important intervention for hemorrhage control but it has been observed that strong pressure will often result in reducing the life of fistula. There can be various difficulties in achieving prompt hemodialysis-site hemostasis that contributes to further blood loss. It also consumes valuable staff time treating and monitoring these patients. We understand that there is a need for improved haemostasis dressing with active clotting surfaces and components to accelerate haemostasis in moderate to severe bleeding.

We @DattMediproducts introduce “VELSEAL^TM-PATCH”, an optimal haemostatic dressing to control bleeding Post-Renal Dialysis.

VELSEAL^TM– PATCH

VelSeal^TM-Patch is ready to use hemostatic dressing especially designed for renal dialysis patients. It consists of a polymeric haemostatic patch fixed on a non-woven fabric coated with adhesive. VelSeal^TM-Patch quickly stops bleeding as it fastens the blood clotting process and stabilizes the clotting formed.

Novel Features

Nature of the dressing: A novel dressing with polymeric haemostatic patch to control bleeding at dialysis puncture sites. The hemostatic patch is impregnated with clot promoting and clot stabilizing agents.
Porosity: VelSeal^TM-Patch is highly porous in nature and has the capacity to absorb fluids 12-15 times of its weight.
Function: VelSeal^TM-Patch prevents the loss of natural clotting factors to initiate the clotting cascade.
Adhesive Property: Adhesive is non-irritant and gentle to the skin. The sides of VelSeal^TM– Patch can be stuck to the skin hence eliminating the need for any secondary dressing.
Indication: Used in post-haemodialysis patients to stop bleeding at the puncture site.
Mode of Action: When blood flows into the dressing, the clotting process starts. The haemostatic patch expands after absorbing the blood. The clotting process occurs within the pores of the dressing. Clotting factors present in the dressing fasten the clotting process. The clot stabilizing agent prevents the disintegration of the clot formed.
Size available: 5cm x 7cm

We @DattMediproducts provide a range of hemostatic dressings specially designed for some difficult to manage indications like Angiography/ Angioplasty, trauma, and artierla and venous ruptures to name a few.

Allergies are a common health issue that affect a significant portion of the population worldwide. Allergies are a hypersensitive reaction of the immune system to an otherwise harmless substance, which is known as an allergen. The allergen can be any substance that triggers an allergic reaction in the body, such as pollen, dust, food, or animal dander.

Allergies are caused due to the abnormal response of the immune system, which mistakes a harmless substance for a harmful invader and initiates a defence mechanism, called antibodies, to protect the body from it. This results in various allergic reactions, such as skin rashes, itching, sneezing, watery eyes, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

There are various reasons behind the occurrence of allergies. Genetics plays a significant role in determining an individual’s likelihood of developing allergies. Environmental factors such as exposure to pollution, chemicals, and toxins can also trigger allergies.

There are several different types of allergies, each with their unique symptoms and triggers.

Some of the most common types of allergies include:

1. Respiratory allergies:

These allergies are triggered by airborne allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and animal dander. The symptoms of respiratory allergies include sneezing, coughing, and wheezing.

2. Food allergies:

These allergies occur when the immune system reacts to certain foods, such as nuts, shellfish, and eggs. Symptoms of food allergies can range from mild itching, tingling in the mouth, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat to more severe life-threatening anaphylaxis.

3. Skin allergies:

These allergies occur when the skin comes into contact with an allergen, such as certain fabrics, metals, or cosmetics. The symptoms of skin allergies include rashes, itching, and swelling.

4. Insect allergies:

These allergies occur when an individual is bitten or stung by an insect, such as bees or mosquitoes. The symptoms of insect allergies can range from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis.

5. Medicine allergies:

Medicine allergies are hypersensitive reactions of the immune system to certain medications. They can cause symptoms like skin rashes, itching, swelling, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis. It is important to communicate medicine allergies to healthcare providers to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Precautionary methods can be taken to manage allergies. Firstly, it is crucial to identify the allergen that triggers the allergic reaction. This can be done through various tests such as skin tests or blood tests. Once the allergen is identified, it is essential to avoid exposure to it. For example, individuals with food allergies must avoid eating the allergen-containing food.

Similarly, those with respiratory allergies must avoid exposure to airborne allergens, such as pollen or animal dander. If a person has a known severe allergy then they can also wear a medical alert bracelet, which lets others know that you have a serious allergy incase they are unable to communicate it.

Medications such as antihistamines, decongestants, and corticosteroids can be used to manage allergy symptoms. In severe cases, epinephrine injections may be required to manage anaphylaxis.

In addition to medication, several lifestyle changes can also help manage allergies. One of the most important being to try to reduce stress levels. While stress can’t trigger an allergic reaction it can make it worse if you are having one. When in stress your body releases hormones including histamine, which is a powerful chemical that leads to allergy symptoms thus making the reaction worse.

Allergies can significantly impact the lives of those who suffer from them. However, with proper management, it is possible to reduce the severity of allergy symptoms. If you suspect that you have an allergy, it is important to seek medical advice and get a proper diagnosis.

We advice to follow precautionary methods and working with a healthcare professional, that can help you manage allergies and improve your quality of life. Follow us for more such information.
