HaemoCer PLUS is a herbal powdered hemostatic agent for supportive haemostasis (bleeding control) and adhesion prevention during surgical procedures. It consists of 100% purified, plant-based starch with no added animal or human components. HaemoCer PLUS is 100% degraded by the body through amylase within a few days, depending on the amount of material used and the site of application. Haemostasis and blood clotting Haemostasis, the medical term for bleeding control and blood clotting, is an essential process in the human body. Haemostasis stops bleeding and thus preserves the integrity of the vascular system. Immediately after an injury, the blood vessels contract and platelets form a temporary clot (primary haemostasis). Blood clotting sets in, the clot is stabilised and the wound is sealed (secondary haemostasis). Haemostatic agents such as natural starches or chitosan can be used to support haemostasis. Our product HaemoCer PLUS has been specially developed for haemostasis. Due to its hydrophilic properties, HaemoCer PLUS has an extremely high water absorption capacity, which accelerates natural blood coagulation – haemostasis – without chemical or pharmaceutical interaction. This leads to an accumulation of fibrin, thrombin and red blood cells at the source of the haemorrhage. An endogenous clot forms and the haemorrhage is stopped. Once the haemostasis is complete, the wound is surrounded by a stable and firmly adhering layer of gel. This gel matrix serves as an additional barrier to protect against renewed haemorrhage.
