Device description

ChitoPulse™ is a compression device incorporating a hemostatic chitosan patch that, when positioned directly onto an access site, applies localized mechanical pressure to promote hemostasis and rapid control of bleeding. The chitosan patch acts as an adjunct to the mechanical compression provided by the adjustable strap and compression balloon to aid the control of bleeding. Using the inflation syringe, the compression applied by the device can be controlled by the user without unfastening the band, allowing gradual release of compression as hemostasis occurs. ChitoPulse™ is a single use device. Once hemostasis is achieved, the adjustable band is intended to be removed leaving the hemostatic chitosan patch in place. The hemostatic chitosan patch can be secured in place with a securement dressing and left in situ for up to 24 hrs. ChitoPulse™ also provides a barrier against bacterial penetration by a wide range of gram positive and gram negative organisms.
