When
applied to actively bleeding areas, Trauma Dex™ acts as a molecular sieve
that rapidly absorbs the fluid component of blood while concentrating the
platelets, thrombin, fibrinogen, & other proteins on the outer surface of
the particles. This produces "instant gelling" followed by the
formation of a fibrin mesh. Trauma Dex™ can be directly applied to a
wound through a patient friendly bellows applicator. Sterile Foil
Pack.

"Minimizing blood loss in the field is one of the most important
factors in determining a victim's trauma prognosis. Each year in the
United States, approximately 50,000 people bleed to death due to
accidents, gunshot wounds or other causes." - National
Transportation Safety Board
