Hemostasis composition with magnetite

摘要

A composition and method of arresting the flow of blood from a bleeding wound. The composition preferably includes an anhydrous salt ferrate compound preferably combined with an effective amount of an insoluble cation exchange material and an effective amount of anhydrous Magnetite mixed uniformly together. Povidone iodine may be added for enhanced antimicrobial properties. In the method, a quantity of the composition is magnetically attached to a surface of a magnet, after which the powderous mixture is applied to the wound by pressing the surface covered with the powderous compound against the wound for a time sufficient to clot the blood to arrest substantial further blood flow from the wound.

1. A hemostatic system for applying a hemostatic agent in powder form directly onto a bleeding wound to arrest blood flow from the wound and to form a scab over the wound comprising:
said hemostatic agent including potassium ferrate combined with powderous ion exchange resin in the hydrogen form and particulate or powderous magnetite; said potassium ferrate promoting blood clotting at the wound, said ion exchange resin forming a protective cover over the wound; said potassium ferrate, said resin, and said magnetite being present in a ratio of 1:7:0.4 to 1:7:8, respectively, of the weight of said hemostatic agent; a magnet for magnetically attracting and holding a quantity of said composition against a surface of said magnet and for positioning said quantity of said composition against the wound; a portion of said quantity of said composition forming the scab over the wound, a remainder of said quantity of said composition being magnetically held against said magnet to avoid spillage.
