Ankaferd Hemostats

Ankaferd Hemostatic Products deliver rapid bleeding control through a unique mechanism of blood cell aggregation and protein network formation, independent of the conventional coagulation pathway. Effective even in patients with certain coagulation disorders, including haemophilia, Ankaferd offers versatile bleeding management across clinical, emergency and appropriate out-of-hospital settings, including road traffic accident emergencies. A valuable solution when every second counts.

Ankaferd hemostatic Topical Gauze

External cuts, abrasions and traumatic bleeding; first aid kits

For bleeding from external injury on any part of the body: abrasions, lacerations, bruises, cuts and other external traumatic bleeding. Besides stopping the bleeding, the gauze is antimicrobial, which helps the wound heal and keeps the area around it sterile.

Haemostatic gauzes belong in first aid kits and emergency intervention packs. The sizes run from a razor-blade cut to bleeding as heavy as an amputation.

How it works

Independent of the classic coagulation cascade, Ankaferd BloodStopper acts through a protein network. It reacts with proteins in the blood, mainly fibrinogen, and red blood cells aggregate on the network it forms. This takes split seconds in vitro and seconds in vivo, so it is effective in patients with normal haemostasis and in those with primary or secondary haemostasis defects.

It is 100% vegetal, contains no alcohol or inorganic or synthetic additives, is sterile, has no allergic effect, and needs no special storage or cold chain.

Not for injection. Ankaferd BloodStopper must not be injected into a vein or the blood circulation system.
