HemCon’s new bandages are now available in 2”x2” and 2”x4” sizes. These sizes were chosen to specifically address the wounds seen in civilian emergency and trauma cases such as lacerations, knife injuries, motor vehicle accidents and gunshot wounds.

Manufactured from a natural product called chitosan (KITE-oh-zan), the HemCon® Bandage is fabricated into a pliable, sterile dressing using proprietary techniques. When applied to traumatic skin, organ or penetrating injuries, the HemCon® Bandage provides superior control of bleeding and wound site adhesion. HemCon® Bandages are ideal for controlling arterial bleeding and severe external haemorrhage. The FDA-cleared HemCon® Bandage is biocompatible and forms an antibacterial barrier, reducing the potential for infection.

The HemCon® Bandage works by adhering aggressively to tissue surfaces when in contact with blood or moisture. This adhesive-like action forms a strong, flexible barrier that seals and stabilizes the wound.

HemCon® Bandages are conveniently packaged with up to a two-year shelf life, stable at room temperature and simple to use. Extremely robust, the bandage can tolerate relatively extreme compressive forces while retaining adequate flexibility to conform to curved or irregular wound surfaces. HemCon® Bandages are non heat-producing and easily removed with saline or water.

The HemCon® Bandage is safe, durable, highly effective, and does not contain human proteins or clotting factors.
