Hemcon bandage
HemCon bandages are specialized wound dressings made from a highly absorbent, sterile material derived from chitosan, a natural sugar found in shellfish shells. They work by immediately sticking to a bleeding wound and creating a seal that promotes rapid blood clotting, helping to control bleeding quickly. HemCon bandages are often used in military, emergency, and trauma settings because of their effectiveness and ease of use. They are biocompatible, meaning they are safe for contact with tissue, and are designed to reduce infection risk while facilitating healing.
