Expandable, non-absorbable, haemostatic sponge for temporary internal use. XStat® is a first class haemostatic device for the treatment of gunshot and shrapnel wounds. XStat works by injecting a group of small, rapidly expanding sponges into the wound cavity using a syringe-like applicator. Each sponge contains an x-ray detectable marker. In the wound, the XSTAT sponges expand and swell to fill the wound cavity within 20 seconds of contact with blood. This creates a temporary barrier to blood flow and provides haemostatic pressure When a product is developed for use on the battlefield, it is generally intended to work in the worst-case scenario, where advanced care may not be immediately available, said William Maisel, M.D., M.P.H., It is exciting to see this technology transition to help civilian first responders control severe and life-threatening bleeding while at the scene of trauma
