NON-ABSORBABLE, EXPANDABLE, HEMOSTATIC SPONGE FOR TEMPORARY INTERNAL USE

Using injectable, fast absorbing sponges, the Stat can seal wounds in 15 seconds or less, potentially saving lives.



XStat® is a first-in-kind hemostatic device for the treatment of gunshot and shrapnel wounds. XStat works by injecting a group of small, rapidly-expanding sponges into a 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 hemostatic pressure.
