– Conventional cotton gauze has long been the standard for controlling bleeding, but Entegrion’s Stasilon® dressing will soon change how consumers care for wounds. Entegrion has just announced that LC Industries of Durham, N.C., will handle consumer sales of Stasilon® - FR through its secure online ordering system. First responders, medical professionals and military personal are already using Stasilon® - FR to quickly stops blood loss of both major and minor wounds.
While Stasilon® was originally created for the military in consultation with the U.S. Office of Navel Research, it can also be extremely useful at home or on the jobsite for minor abrasions or to stabilize more serious injuries while seeking professional medical help. Uncontrolled bleeding is the second leading cause of death in the United States, after trauma, and more than 6 million bleeding wounds are treated annually by trauma and emergency rooms in the U.S. Unlike absorbent cotton, the combination of glass and bamboo used in the dressing’s fibers trigger the body’s natural mechanisms for hemorrhage control by rapidly constricting and clotting damaged blood vessels. Wounds become stabilized and blood loss is drastically reduced.
Stasilon® - FR is a wound dressing cleared by the FDA for use by individuals in virtually any environment. No training or special instructions are required. You simply open the package, apply the dressing to the wound and maintain firm pressure. These innovative wound dressings are available for purchase in quantities of 10 in a four-inch or two-inch square size. Visit www.entegrion.com to order.
