HemCon Patch® PRO
The HemCon Patch PRO is a non-invasive hemostatic patch that enables medical professionals to enhance their direct pressure protocol during interventional and diagnostic heart catheterization procedures with an effective solution that reduces time to hemostasis, even for patients on anticoagulants. In addition to providing hemostasis, HemCon dressings also offer an antibacterial barrier against a wide range of microorganisms including MRSA, VRE, A. baumannii (only single strains of most species have been studied).
Available sizes and SKUs:
- 1.5 in x 1.5 in (PN#1004)
- 2 in x 2 in (PN#1005)
Intended Use
The HemCon Patch PRO is a hemostatic dressing for the external, temporary control of severely bleeding wounds, intended for emergency use. The HemCon Patch PRO also controls bleeding in patients following hemodialysis and is indicated for the control of bleeding from the skin at percutaneous needle access, vascular access, and percutaneous catheter access sites.
