What is Hemostatic Dressing?
A hemostatic dressing is an advanced medical device designed to control bleeding. It works by accelerating the body's natural clotting process when applied directly to a wound. These dressings are particularly useful in managing traumatic injuries, severe cuts, and surgical wounds where excessive blood loss is a concern.

How To Apply Hemostatic Dressing
Identify Catastrophic External Bleeding
Using a hemostatic dressing is the last resort in a bleeding incident. You should only use it for life-threatening and catastrophic external bleeding.
Expose the Wound
Open or tear clothing around the wound to expose the site. This exposure makes it easy to examine the extent of the wound and the amount of blood loss, apply the dressing, and monitor the area. Exposing the wound will also allow you to assess the extent and seriousness of the whole injury properly.
Remove Pooled Blood From the Wound Site
Use plain gauze to remove excess pooled blood from the wound site. Place the gauze over the blood and apply pressure. You may have to use more than one gauze to remove all the pooled blood.
Identify the Major Source of the Bleeding
Identify the major source of bleeding, which may be an artery or a vein. You have to use a hemostatic dressing to stop bleeding at this site.
Apply Direct Manual Pressure
Apply direct manual pressure to the major site of bleeding.
Remember, hemostatic dressing isn’t a substitute for sustained direct manual pressure.
Read the Usage Instructions on the Dressing Package
Read the usage instructions on the dressing package thoroughly. There may be additional instructions or warnings for the specific type of dressing you are using. Read the package for application instructions if you’re not trained in using hemostatic dressing.
Pack the Wound With the Dressing
Packing the wound requires care and precision.
Here’s how to use a gauze-type hemostatic dressing to pack a wound:
Ensure that you’re maintaining direct manual pressure on the wound at all times during the packing.
Remove one end of the gauze.
Pack the unfolding gauze directly over the source of the bleeding.
You may have to splay open some tissue to place the dressing above the bleeding site.
If blood saturates the first layer of dressing, apply another layer.
If the wound is deep, continue filling in the gauze until the wound is packed above the skin level.
You can use abdominal battle dressings or plain gauze above the hemostatic dressing to add bulk if the wound is deep.
Ensure that you cover the whole wound or the entire bleeding surface with the dressing and not just the primary bleeding site.
To keep the hemostatic dressing in place, you can use a pressure dressing, such as a roller bandage.
Continue applying constant direct manual pressure to the wound for three minutes after packing the site.
Monitor the Wound Site
Visually monitor the wound site for bleeding. You should be vigilant to ensure that the bleeding does not continue unabated or signs that the dressing is ineffective in reducing the bleeding. Reapply manual pressure if you notice bleeding and continue applying pressure till the bleeding stops.
Prepare for the Next Stage of Care
You should remove the hemostatic dressing within 24 hours of application. The type of dressing you have used determines how easy or challenging it would be to remove it. So, you must inform the healthcare provider who receives the wounded person at the next stage of care what hemostatic dressing you have used.
What To Consider When Buying And Using Hemostatic Dressings
The Dressing Should Stop Extensive Bleeding Quickly
Prolonged severe bleeding can be fatal. The most effective hemostatic dressing can stop extensive bleeding within two minutes of application. Some rapid-action agents show results in even less time.
You Can Apply the Dressing Through a Pool of Blood
Hemostatic dressings are used to stem heavy bleeding. You may apply the most effective ones through a pool of blood flowing from the wound site.
The Dressing Should Have No Toxic Effects Like Burns
Some older-generation hemostatic dressings caused the temperature at the wound site to rise when they reacted with the aqueous components of blood. Such reactions sometimes caused temperatures to rise as high as 76OC (168.8OF), which burned the tissues surrounding the wound site.
The Dressing Should Be Sterile
Some hemostatic dressings comprising biological materials can cause infection. For instance, some products are known to transmit viral agents. However, most products approved by the FDA are safe.
Your Dressing Should Not Leave Any Residue
Granule-based hemostatic dressings tend to leave behind residue in the blood vessels, which can obstruct the normal flow of blood. It’s prudent to choose a gauze-type dressing that does not suffer from this drawback.
The Dressing Should Be Easy To Use
I highly recommend that you look for hemostatic dressings that are easy to use even by:
A wounded person who may have limited mobility
A health professional with minimal training in using such dressings
A battle “buddy” who may not be trained to use medical supplies.
The Dressing Should Suit Large, Deep, or Irregular Wounds
Improvised explosive devices are now being used in battlefield situations and in civilian settings. These devices cause irregular depth and geometry in wounds, and not all hemostatic dressings work for such injuries.
Your Dressing Should Offer Drug-Delivery Properties
Some clinical settings require the application of a hemostatic dressing that can effectively deliver one or more drugs to the targeted tissue.
The Dressing Should Be Easy To Remove
Many cases of traumatic injuries that cause severe blood loss require surgery even after physicians have managed to stem the bleeding with a hemostatic dressing. Medical personnel have to remove the hemostatic dressing before the surgery.
Dressings Should Be Lightweight and Durable
Lightweight and durable hemostatic dressings are easy to carry and store, especially in battlefield scenarios. In the instance of multiple injury victims, EMTs can carry multiple dressings to the site without returning to collect more which saves time vital in emergency scenarios.
Dressings Should Be Stable at Extremes of Temperature
Hemostatic dressings may need to be stored and applied at extremely high and low temperatures. If you work in a setting where temperature extremes are common, consider buying hemostatic dressings that can withstand the highs and lows of temperature.
The Dressing Should Have a Minimum Shelf-Life of 2 Years
In some civilian settings, hemostatic dressings may not have regular use. However, medical personnel still need to have them on hand.
Your Dressing Should Be Affordable
Most FDA-approved hemostatic dressings are readily available as over-the-counter products. However, prices of similar formulations vary across brands.
The Working Mechanism Of Hemostatic Dressings
Hemostatic dressings are used to stop heavy bleeding. The mechanism of action varies depending on the agents used in the dressing.
This class of hemostatic agents is designed as a three-dimensional honeycomb-like structure that absorbs small molecules like those that comprise the aqueous components of blood. This absorption process is a non-chemical reaction.
When the aqueous blood components are absorbed, a thick concentration of the larger molecules of the cellular, platelet, and protein components are left behind. This absorption increases the concentration of clotting factors at the wound site.
Earlier generations of hemostatic agents that used factor concentrators caused the temperature at the wound site to increase significantly and resulted in tissue burns.
subsequent products have found a way around this drawback. So nowadays, you don’t have to worry about burn injuries when using hemostatic dressing with such an agent.
Hemostatic dressing with mucoadhesive agents adheres tightly to tissues and stops the bleeding by physically sealing the wound site.
Mucoadhesive agents like chitosan, derived from the natural polysaccharide chitin found in shellfish, are widely used as hemostatic dressing agents.
Most chitosan formulations are biodegradable and don’t have to be removed before surgery.
Newer products use packable gauze with chitosan to achieve double the benefits of chitosan’s ability to promote blood clotting and the ease of use of gauze material.
Hemostatic dressings with procoagulant factors are advanced products. They stimulate and accelerate the body’s natural clotting mechanism by delivering procoagulant agents to the wound site.
Many of these hemostatic dressings come in the form of a sachet the size of a teabag. The sachet can contain procoagulant agents like kaolin that activate the body’s intrinsic clotting mechanism.
The sachet has to be applied directly to the wound. Afterward, it’s easy to remove the dressing.
Besides kaolin, some dressings with procoagulant supplements contain human clotting factors and factors obtained from cow’s blood.
How To Apply A Hemostatic Dressing
Assess the Situation
Evaluate the severity of the bleeding and ensure your safety and the safety of the injured person. If necessary, call for professional medical assistance.
Cleanse the Wound
If possible, gently clean the wound with sterile saline or clean water to remove debris and foreign objects.
Apply Direct Pressure
Use a clean cloth or gloved hand to apply direct pressure to the wound. This initial step helps control bleeding until the hemostatic dressing is applied.
Open the Hemostatic Dressing
Open the packaging of the hemostatic dressing, ensuring that the sterile surface does not come into contact with any non-sterile objects.
Place the Dressing
Pack or apply the hemostatic dressing directly onto the wound, ensuring full coverage. If using a gauze-based dressing, pack the wound tightly, ensuring that the dressing reaches the source of bleeding.
Apply Pressure
Apply firm pressure to the dressing for the recommended amount of time specified by the manufacturer. This pressure promotes direct contact between the dressing and the bleeding vessels, enhancing hemostasis.
Secure the Dressing
Secure the hemostatic dressing in place with a bandage or adhesive tape. Ensure that the dressing remains in position and does not shift during transport or movement.
Monitor the Patient
Continuously monitor the patient’s vital signs and the dressing’s effectiveness. If bleeding persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention.
Mucoadhesive agents
These kinds of haemostatic agents work by sticking directly to the damaged tissue to physically seal open wounds and stop bleeding – this is how our haemostatic agents work. More specifically, they use a naturally occurring biomolecule derived from shellfish called chitosan, which promotes blood coagulation.
Procoagulants
These haemostatic agents work in a similar manner to mucoadhesive agents but use a mineral-based compound to promote blood coagulation.
Factor concentrators
These kinds of haemostatic agents work by absorbing water content from the bleeding wound, thereby increasing the concentration of the blood’s natural clotting agents.
