TAMPA, Fla. - March 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Accidents happen. After a long winter season, spring is a time for renewal and cleaning up the home. It’s also a time when accidents in the home sharply rise as hands, arms and legs – dried out from the long winter months – meet the edges associated with whipping a backyard into shape, remodeling a room or even cleaning the cupboards.

Before the next accident occurs, medical professionals and Biolife, an innovative healthcare company, encourage consumers to “spring clean your first aid kit” by adding WoundSeal (http://www.woundseal.com) to it.

WoundSeal is a topical powder that medical professionals have clinically tested and used in the hospital for years to stop bleeding instantly. Through its unique ability to create an instant scab to stop bleeding and protect the wound, the powder effectively replaces traditional gauze, bandages, and tapes when treating a bleeding wound (Watch video at http://www.stopbleedinginstantly.com).

“Medical advances and breakthroughs change the way we treat patients in the hospital and eventually the home,” states Louis M. Guzzi, MD, a prominent Orlando, Fla. critical care physician. “While many of the medications and products we use have migrated into personal care, the traditional method a family would use to treat a bleeding wound hasn’t changed for more than 100 years.

“Because of its effectiveness to stop bleeding wounds in seconds, WoundSeal is a must have in the home first aid kit much like the powder has been a must have hemostatic agent in our clinic.”

WoundSeal is now nationally available over the counter in the first aid section at Walgreens and CVS and sold online a http://www.woundseal.com. Starting April 2013, the product will also be available at Rite Aid, Publix, Bed Bath & Beyond, H-E-B, Giant Eagle, Meijer, independent pharmacies, select Target stores and other retailers.

How WoundSeal Is Different & Works

While hemostatic agents, such as styptic pencils, have been on the market for minor shaving nicks and paper cuts, WoundSeal is the only product that can treat a broad range of external bleeding wounds.

Here is how it works once a cut occurs (http://www.woundseal.com/wp/how-it-works):

1. The person tries to clean the bleeding wound if possible and lets the wound re-bleed. Blood is necessary for the powder to work.
2. With blood present, the person pours the topical powder - comprised of a hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate – onto the wound and applies light pressure. Powder + Pressure = Instant Scab.
3. The powder interacts with the wound’s blood to form a protective scab in seconds. Note: the powder works independently of the body’s blood-clotting cascade to stop bleeding without entering the blood stream.
4.The instant scab protects the wound and is waterproof. It falls off naturally as the wound heals.

Through WoundSeal’s breakthrough technology, consumers treating a bleeding wound can now reduce the number of steps and products used to one easy-to-use application and reduce actual bleeding time from minutes, hours or even days (as with senior citizens) to just seconds. Unlike traditional gauze, tape and bandages, WoundSeal is guaranteed to stop external wound bleeding.

“For active adults and seniors with thin skin who can bleed easily and persistently, WoundSeal is one of the biggest revelations in home first aid since adhesive bandages were introduced more than 100 years ago,” states Dr. Guzzi. “The ability to go from many products to just one – and increase the effectiveness of stopping bleeding – is a tremendous step forward in wound care.”

Clinically Proven and Tested

While the powder is new on retail shelves, leading hospitals have used it for several years. Additionally, professionals in occupational health and sports medicine have also used WoundSeal to stop bleeding on the job and on the sports field. Through the retail version, consumers now have access to the same topical powder doctors use and what researchers have studied (http://www.woundseal.com/wp/clinical-studies/):

1. The Science of a “Seal” for PICC Line Management: BioSeal CVC Powder: An Alternative Hemostatic Agent That Keeps Sites Dry and Intact. 2010. Florida Hospital. (Editor’s Note: BioSeal is the trade name of WoundSeal)

2. Comparative Efficacy and Safety Results of Topical Hemostatic Powder and Sterile Compressed Foam Sponge in Second Intention Healing Following Mohs Micrographic Surgery. 2010.

3. Comparison of a Novel Hemostatic Agent to Currently Available Agents in a Swine Model of Lethal Arterial Extremity Hemorrhage. 2007. Study sponsored by the US Department of Defense.

WoundSeal contains four applications. Suggested retail price is $6.99.
