Designed to stop bleeding fast from wounds or lacerations, this ChitoSAM Hemostatic Dressing by Sam Medical is extremely effective and safe, plus it can be broken down and digested by the body. It's available as a 4 x 4-inch, and the large 3-inch x 6-foot bandage can be cut to size as needed. Unlike most hemostatic dressings, ChitoSAM is made of non-woven, 100% pure chitosan. Independent tests have shown the ChitoSAM Hemostatic Dressing performs up to 25% better than a leading chitosan gauze. With this increased efficacy, you can use less gauze to achieve the same hemostatic result. Additionally, the unique "tear anywhere" packaging allows quick access to the product for fast application. Chitosan is well documented as an antimicrobial agent against fungi, bacteria, and viruses including MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus), VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococci), S.aureus (staphylococcus aureus), and E.coli (Escherichia coli). This bandage contains no nanoparticles or any particles.
