Benefits of technology

[0025]When powder mixtures are used for hemostasis, the bleeding surface is often not flat. Bone-dry powders tend to fall off the site at which they are aimed. Previously disclosed powder containment devices (PCD) are used to reduce the spillage. They are not, however, completely reliable, particularly for stopping bleeding around catheter lines

Example

Example 1

[0029]A level study of Povidone Iodine (PI) in 1:7 powder was tested with Aspergillus niger in a 7-day, daily re-challenge standardized test. A >4 log kill was achieved when the PI≧2%. Adding small amounts of PI to 1:7 powder had no effect on hemostasis but did provide the kill necessary to claim that the device created a 7-day antimicrobial barrier. This is a commercial breakthrough in that hospitals want and are now provided, an all-in-one product wherein hemostasis is achieved, exudate is absorbed, 24-48 hour dressing changes are eliminated and there is a reduction in hospital-acquired infections.

Dynamic Pneumatic Hemostasis Test Apparatus

[0030]Referring to FIG. 8, the preferred apparatus for testing each test sample includes the use of air pressure to dislodge an aluminum disk adhered to a test block. Blood and powder are used to create the adhesive. The test measures the cohesive strength of the seal around the edges of the aluminum disk. A needle valve and an air regu...

Example

Example 2

[0040]Mixtures of Magnetite (Mag), a ferrate powder commercially available as QR Powder (QR) from assignee herein, Povidone Powder (PI), dry Hydrogen Resin and Hematite were tested in the above-described dynamic pneumatic hemostasis apparatus to compare the cohesive nature of each of the mixtures. Air pressure through a ⅛″ hole was used to lift a small thin aluminum disk from a testing block. Over the aluminum disk was ˜0.5 ml of whole EDTA treated bovine blood, and ˜1 g of one of the powder mixtures. In one set of tests, a 200 gm weight was left in place over the powder, and in the other test set, the weight was removed before the system was pressurized. The system was capable of creating +500 mm Hg of pressure thru the ⅛″ hole. The measurement of cohesion for each mixture was taken at the point when the air pressure caused the disk to lift and release the pressure held beneath. The results are summarized in Table 1.

Example 3

[0042]In another series of experiments, the level of Magnetite added to QR, (a 1:7 mixture of ferrate / hydrogen resin) was varied from 0% to 100% and the weight in grams of mixture lifted by a standard magnet measured. As demonstrated, more Magnetite results in more total mass being held by the magnet. The strength of the magnet affects the amount of powder that can be held. There is a minimum amount of Magnetite needed for each device depending on the type of magnet used and the amount of powder needed to be applied.

QR powder was mixed with varying amounts of Magnetite and different types of magnets were used to determine the mass of powder that could be held.

Abstract

A composition and method of arresting the flow of blood from a bleeding wound. The composition preferably includes an anhydrous salt ferrate compound preferably combined with an effective amount of an insoluble cation exchange material and an effective amount of anhydrous Magnetite mixed uniformly together. Povidone iodine may be added for enhanced antimicrobial properties. In the method, a quantity of the composition is magnetically attached to a surface of a magnet, after which the powderous mixture is applied to the wound by pressing the surface covered with the powderous compound against the wound for a time sufficient to clot the blood to arrest substantial further blood flow from the wound.
