Usage Information The bandage can be cut into smaller pieces to fit into small wounds, or multiple bandages can be overlapped for large injuries. The bandage must be in contact with the bleeding vessel to be effective. Apply and maintain pressure for at least two minutes or until bleeding is controlled. The bandage should be wrapped with gauze or a pressure dressing for transport. Do not let moisture from your hand come in contact with the bandage. The moisture could cause the bandage to become sticky.
17
Precautions Once applied, do not attempt to reposition the bandage. A new bandage should be applied to other exposed bleeding sites. Care must be taken to avoid contact with the patient’s eyes. If bandage sticks, but does not completely stop bleeding. Do not remove bandage right away. Depending on circumstances, it may be best to leave bandage on rather than trying to place a new bandage. If bandage is not effective in stopping bleeding, remove original and apply a new bandage. Additional bandages cannot be applied over ineffective bandages.
18
What About Shellfish Allergies?
There have been no known allergic reactions as a result of using the HemCon Bandage since distribution began in 2003 and there have been no adverse effects reported in over 750,000 bandages shipped. Shellfish allergy study shows that, out of 221 individuals with suspected hypersensitivity, including 8 individuals with known shellfish allergies, none demonstrated any dermal sensitivity when pricked with a chitosan test solution. However, since chitosan is extracted from the shells of shrimp, other shellfish and fungi, individuals with known shellfish allergies should exercise caution in the use of products containing chitosan.
19
Instructions for Removal
The bandage can be left in place for up to 48 hours. Do not remove bandage until definitive surgical care is available. To remove, simply irrigate the area with saline. There is no need for wound debridement.
