How does NasalCEASE® stop nosebleeds?
A. As soon as NasalCEASE® comes in contact with blood, it releases calcium, which is a coagulant that actively aids in quickly stopping the bleeding. In addition, NasalCEASE® adsorbs the blood into the packing. As adsorption occurs, the sodium in the blood interacts with the bio-polymer, changing it from dry to moist. As a result, NasalCEASE® doesn’t stick to newly formed clots and is removed without tearing clots, which can cause rebleeding. Rebleeding occurs with other materials 15% of the time as new clots are torn upon removal.
