Hemostasis – Body’s natural mechanism

Hemostasis is a natural mechanism of clotting blood in the walls of damaged blood vessels. This process prevents blood loss and helps the blood to maintain its fluid nature.

Events in Hemostasis

• • Vascular constriction – blood vessels narrowed by the muscles present.
  • Platelet forming plugs – Platelets form plugs on the blood vessels interrupting the blood flow.
  • Coagulation – Using a protein called fibrinogen, a glue-like gel called fibrin holds the platelet plug together forming a clot.

Why is blood clotting important?

• •  For preventing excessive blood loss.
  • It leads to diseases such as anemia, menorrhagia, and hemophilia, etc.

Hemostatic agents (Surgicel, Arista, and Perclot) are quite popular in India come as two variants absorbable sponge-like hemostat and hemostatic powder. Surgicel, Arista, and Perclot are considered to be competitors to HaemoCer Plus. Hemostatic agents could well be considered as an important surgical product that needs to be present in general surgical and many other operation techniques.

Haemocer – Enhancer of natural blood clot process

Hemostatic powder like HaemoCer Plus is used when the normal blood clotting process needs a little push to fasten the blood clotting.

Plant-based HaemoCer Plus is an absorbable polysaccharide hemostat. They are prepared by a process known as PURE. It has no animal or human components present in it. HaemoCer Plus works by enhancing the natural clotting process without directly involving in any chemical reaction.

BioCer, a medical device company based in Bayreuth, Germany. They specialize in the development and production of innovative medical biomaterial products without animal or human components.

Mode of Action

HaemoCer Plus has two modes of action.

• Firstly, when in contact with the blood, the powder enhances the natural blood-clotting cascade by dehydrating the blood and speeding up blood components deposit at the bleeding site.
• Secondly, it promotes the formation of the gelled matrix by forming an adhesive mechanical barrier at the site.

This powder can also be compared to other adhesive barrier gels as it reduces post-surgery adhesions.

This double mode of action is a special feature of HaemoCer Plus, that may not be apparent in other hemostats like Surgicel, Arista, and Perclot.

HaemoCer Plus can be considered a staple in the wound healing product line. The distributors in India mainly dealing with wound care and surgical products may add this product to their inventory.

A comparison study between HaemoCer Plus and its competitors showed that HaemoCer Plus showed higher blood absorption compared to surgical products like hemostatic agents of Arista, Perclot, and Surgicel.

Advantages of HaemoCer Plus

• Natural –  This polysaccharide is plant-based, has no human or animal components, and is easily absorbable
• Safe – Resorption rate is high (rapidly degraded by amylase in our body since it is predominantly starch). It helps to decrease foreign body risk and the formation of granuloma.
• Effective –  Packing size is small which reduces storage volume. No special storage techniques are required.

Application Technique

• Dry – remove excess blood at the site by gauze and make it dry
• Apply – HaemoCer Plus to the wound site
• Press – gently press the wound using gauze
• Irrigate – irrigate the wound site entirely and then remove the gauze after the gelled matrix has formed.
