The HemCon® Bandage is an FDA-cleared pliable, sterile, chitosan dressing capable of stopping severe external hemorrhage following trauma and penetrating injury. The HemCon Bandage significantly outperformed the standard of care (gauze) with significant improvements in survival, blood loss, and the number of applications of either pressure or dressings required to achieve hemostasis.
The HemCon Bandage is also a powerful barrier against MRSA and other dangerous bacteria. The antibacterial properties of chitosan have been investigated using a wide range of gram positive and gram negative organisms. Results demonstrated that chitosan ultimately disrupted the bacterial cell membranes. Included in those tested were Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumanii and Enterococcus faecalis with >99.99 percent reduction.
