and Help Protect Wounds and Procedural Sites

What is StatSeal?
StatSeal medical devices, in powder or disc form, are made of a hydrophilic polymer and
potassium ferrate. When placed on an external bleeding wound or procedural site, in combination with manual pressure, StatSeal forms a seal that stops bleeding and helps protect
the site from contamination.
Seal formation is independent of the clotting cascade.
How Do StatSeal Products Work?
StatSeal quickly forms a seal to stop the flow of blood and exudates, and protect the site
from contamination.
The mechanism of action is a simultaneous two-step action:
1. The polymer rapidly dehydrates the blood, stacking up the solid components.
2. The potassium ferrate agglomerates the blood solids creating a seal or physical barrier.
Beneath the seal, the blood clots naturally.
In-Vitro studies* show that on the distal side of the seal, pH is low (~2) while on the proximal
side of the seal, pH is neutral.

(Holding pressure with gauze is
4. Dress the wound with non-adherent dressing. The protective seal is safe to leave in place until it falls off
naturally.
Instructions for Use – Vascular Access Sites
Before applying powder, secure catheter near access site. Catheter movement after powder is applied can disrupt
newly-formed seal.
1. Place PCD around site, pour powder into PCD. Place foam center in PCD to cover powder.
2. Hold continuous pressure for 2 minutes to form seal; increase hold times as clinically necessary.
3. If bleeding continues, reapply more powder and hold manual pressure until bleeding stops.
4. Cover with transparent dressing following normal protocol; press and form transparent dressing around
powder to help contain powder around access site.
Site should remain dry and intact until next scheduled dressing change.
You may feel a slight warming from the powder as it forms the seal.
To remove StatSeal: If StatSeal Powder must be removed, as determined by a healthcare professional, brush away
loose powder then wet the seal with sterile water/saline until seal starts loosening from the wound. Gently scrape off
loosened seal with gloved finger. Repeat as needed.

StatSeal advanced Powder and Disc
®
What Is It?
Patented Technology
to Seal Access Sites Following
Sheath and Catheter Removal
StatSeal® ADVANCED is a manual pressure adjunct that controls external bleeding from
large-bore venous catheters, arterial access procedures, and other diagnostic or interventional
procedures. Available in both powder and disc (compressed powder) form, the ingredients are a
hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate.
Disc/Powder + Pressure = Seal
As an adjunct to manual pressure, StatSeal® ADVANCED forms a physical seal through agglomeration of
blood solids and proteins along with simultaneous rapid dehydration of the blood.
The Benefits of StatSeal® ADVANCED
Reduces hold times
• Does not rely on the body’s clotting cascade
• Seal forms instantly and strengthens with pressure and time
• The seal stays with the patient
Improves outcomes
• Increases patient comfort and satisfaction
• Allows for re-access of the site
• Hypo-allergenic, non-irritant
Improves facility throughput
• Efficient and Cost-effective
• Less expensive than pads, patches and closure devices
• Versatile – useful in the control of any external bleeding
• Saves valuable staff time
StatSeal® ADVANCED achieved hemostasis in less than two minutes for venous access and four minutes
for arterial procedures based on results from a randomized controlled clinical study. StatSeal®
effectively reduced time to hemostasis with minimal associated complications (hematoma,
rebleeds). StatSeal® is superior to the control (D-Stat®) in reducing time to hemostasis.*

1. Clean and dry the area around the site.
Withdraw sheath leaving at least 3 to 4 centimeters (2-3 cms for fistula/grafts) under the skin. Remove PCD from package,
peel paper backing and center (PCD) around sheath.
2. Pour powder into PCD* - lift sheath gently to ensure powder gets under sheath, then create a pile of powder around the sheath
and completely fill the PCD.
3. Place PCD center (foam insert) over powder. Pull sheath slowly while applying pressure over the arteriotomy and the insertion site.
4. StatSeal® Advanced is a manual pressure adjunct. For initial uses, start at current manual pressure hold times then gradually adjust
down toward 5 to 10 minutes of continuous pressure. Extend hold times as clinically necessary.
5. Release pressure slowly; Roll fingers off PCD**.
6. Place transparent dressing per protocol; Apply product description label on top of dressing to identify powder. Follow your
normal ambulation protocol.
* Fill PCD completely; don’t overfill; the bottle contains excess powder in case of a rebleed.
** If bleeding continues, reapply more powder (if necessary) with manual compression until bleeding has stopped. You may feel a
slight warming from the powder as it forms the seal.
To remove Statseal® Advanced: If Statseal® Advanced Powder must be removed, as determined by a healthcare professional, brush
away loose powder then wet the seal with sterile water/saline until seal starts loosening from the wound. Gently scrape off loosened
seal with gloved finger, cotton swab or tongue depressor. Repeat as needed.

The Challenge: How to Protect an Access Site
• “Soiled, wet or loose dressings must be changed” since they provide an optimum environment for bacterial growth according to CDC Guidelines for the Prevention of
Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections, 2011.
• Soiled gauze or CHG-impregnated sponges have been clinically shown to result in frequent dressing changes.1
• Dressing changes require valuable nursing time, added material cost and
expose the site.
Access site with soiled CHG sponge
• Dressing disruption is a major risk factor for catheter-related infections.*
The Solution: StatSeal® Disc
The patented technology of StatSeal ® (BioSeal) Powder, now in an easy-to-use disc!
StatSeal® Disc is a topical disc, made of compressed powder (hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate) that forms a seal
over an access site to keep it dry and intact. StatSeal® Disc is available in various sizes to fit securely around different sizes
of catheters (1.9-14 Fr).
Benefits of StatSeal® Disc:
Creates a seal that prevents bleeding and oozing
• Seal forms instantly, strengthening with manual pressure and time
• Does not rely on the body’s clotting cascade
• Works with any protein-filled fluid
Helps minimize dressing changes
• Seals sites from insertion to 7 days, virtually eliminating 24 or 48-hour
dressing changes
• Helps minimize unplanned dressing changes due to bleeding and oozing
• Helps follow CDC guidelines by keeping sites dry and intact
Helps improve outcomes for patients and staff
• Less exposure of site - Improves delivery of atraumatic care
• Saves nursing time and costs
“The StatSeal® disc is a game changer! For PICC and central line insertions, the disc keeps

The Difference is the Seal
DISC
How does StatSeal® Disc Work?
StatSeal® quickly forms a seal to stop the flow of blood and exudates.
The mechanism of action is a simultaneous two-step action:
1. The polymer rapidly dehydrates the blood, stacking up the solid
blood components.
2. The potassium ferrate agglomerates the blood solids creating a
physical barrier.
Beneath the seal, the blood clots naturally.
Instructions For Use:
Application includes 1 StatSeal® Disc.
StatSeal® Disc is intended for use under the care of a health care professional for the temporary external control
of bleeding from percutaneous needle access, vascular access sites and percutaneous catheters.
1. Prepare the skin around insertion site according to facility protocol.
2. Open sterile packaging and remove disc.
3. Place the disc by sliding it down the catheter until it touches skin at the catheter site.
The brown side should be towards the patient’s skin and the slit perpendicular to the
catheter. The edges of the slit should approximate one another to the extent possible.
The foam side is facing up.
Tip: Don’t stretch the disc apart too much upon application.
4. Apply a continuous hold on top of the foam for at least 2 minutes to form the
seal; increase the hold time as clinically necessary.
5. Secure the catheter per protocol.
6. Cover with transparent dressing following facility protocol.
7. Remove disc with next dressing change and resume regular dressing protocol.
Site should remain dry and intact until next scheduled dressing change.

PROVIDES BETTER PATIENT OUTCOMES
A peer-reviewed clinical trial published in the Journal of the Association for
Vascular Access** showed that when used for all PICC line insertions (418) and
occasional bleeding during dressing changes at Florida Hospital, StatSeal:
• Showed a 40% decrease in Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections
(CRBSIs) during and post-trial
• Eliminated the 48-hour dressing change; initial dressing change
performed at 7 days
• Achieved fast hemostasis, even for patients with clotting difficulties
(≤ 2 min. in 96% of applications)
• Resulted in no reported complications.

Powder As An Alternative Hemostatic Agent That Keeps Sites Dry And Intact,” Journal of the Association for Vascular Access, Summer 2010, 15:2, 66-73.
In a study of Mohs Micrographic Surgery, StatSeal showed greater efficacy
and more rapid onset of action in second intention healing compared with
the control compressed foam sponge (at week 12). StatSeal reduced erythema
and produced fewer incidents of scarring.
