How long should you hold manual pressure for when using BioSeal Powder to achieve hemostasis?
Holding times are dependent on the type of procedure. We recommend that when you first use BioSeal Powder, you follow your standard protocol for manual compression. As you become more accustomed to applying BioSeal Powder, you may be able to decrease your holding times. On average, we recommend hold times of at least 30 seconds for minor cuts and anterior epistaxis. For holding times for vascular access procedures, please see the chart below.
