Biolife LLC is pleased to announce that BIOSEAL ADVANCED Powder is available for sale beginning February 9, 2009. BIOSEAL ADVANCED by PRO QR is a non-prescription topical powder that stops external bleeding from diagnostic and interventional arterial procedures by sealing off the access site and providing a microbial barrier over the site upon sheath removal. The powder’s ingredients are a hydrophilic polymer and potassium iron oxyacid salt.
BIOSEAL ADVANCED Powder is a patented technology that, when placed on a vascular access site and combined with manual pressure to the site, quickly stops the flow of blood and creates a seal over the site. This “BIOSEAL” blocks the flow of blood out of the wound and helps prevent microbes from coming in to the wound. BIOSEAL ADVANCED Powder works well for “problem bleeders” because it works independently of the blood’s natural clotting cascade.
BIOSEAL ADVANCED powder helps reduce hold times (thus increasing patient comfort) and provides a protective seal that travels home with the patient. The seal falls off naturally when wound healing is complete. BIOSEAL ADVANCED is easy to use and more cost-effective than vascular closure devices or hemostatic pads.
Biolife President, Sam Shake, is excited about the release of this new product and said, “We saw a need in IR suites and cath labs for this product because of the risk of infection whenever the skin is penetrated during a procedure, particularly with large bore catheters. BIOSEAL ADVANCED Powder provides a microbial barrier to prevent infections. It also helps to decrease holding times so it saves time and money.” Biolife looks forward to further expanding its line of products over the coming year.
