Non-organic haemostatic agent

Non-organic haemostatic agents are medical devices designed to stop external bleeding from skin wounds or internal GI tract injuries. They work by forming a physical seal or accelerating clot formation at the wound site, often while also absorbing excess bodily fluids. These devices are typically applied directly to the wound or delivered endoscopically, providing temporary control of bleeding without dissolving over time.

These devices are generally single-use and come in various forms, such as powders, gels, or impregnated dressings. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically classified based on their intended use and risk profile—often as single-use, non-medicated wound care products. Some may include disposable applicators, either manual or electronic, to aid precise application.
