The HemCon Hemorrhage Control Bandage was created as a joint effort of HemCon, Inc. and the U.S. Army. The bandage was the result of a three-year collaborative effort to address the leading cause of battlefield mortality: bleeding. The HemCon Bandage controls bleeding by becoming extremely sticky when in contact with blood; this adhesive-like action seals the wound. The HemCon Bandage is even effective on high-pressure, high-flow arterial bleeds. The HemCon Bandage has been demonstrated to act as an effective barrier between an open wound and dangerous bacteria by the AATCC Test Method 100-2004, Evaluation of Antibacterial Finishes (Technical Manual of the American Association of Textile Chemist and Colorists) in laboratory testing with Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria. The HemCon Bandage is a pliable, sterile, chitosan dressing capable of stopping severe external hemorrhage following trauma and penetrating injury. The HemCon Bandage does not contain human proteins or clotting factors, nor does it generate heat.
