Absorbable Hemostatic Gauze
DESIGNED TO CONTROL MINIMAL, MILD AND MODERATE SURGICAL BLEEDING
LifeSheet are electrospun sheets of varying size and thickness. The sheets are composed of Medcura’s hydrophobically modified chitosan, for use as absorbable surgical hemostatic gauze. Consistent with all LifeTM Surgical Portfolio formulations, the gauze also includes the benefit of inherent antimicrobial properties of chitosan.
LifeSheet will be used in cardiac, general, gynecological and urological surgical procedures. LifeSheet is under active development, and has yet to be evaluated by the FDA.
By providing a matrix for platelet adhesion and aggregation on contact with blood, Medcura’s hydrophobically modified chitosan fibers allow for mucoadhesion to wet tissue, that creates a barrier to stop bleeding. LifeSheet products are engineered to be used in open or laparoscopic surgical procedures.*,**
