Axiostat is a sterile, single use, non-absorbable haemostatic dressing intended to be used for temporary control of bleeding wounds.

Axiostat stops moderate to severe bleeding due to cuts, abrasions, lacerations, punctures, venous or arterial bleeding.

This video shows HOW TO USE Axiostat Vascular Haemostatic Dressing.

Step1 : Make sure to wear your gloves. Peel open the pack and take out Axiostat, hold it along with a sterile gauze.

Step2: Immediately after removing the procedural sheath, place Axiostat along with the gauze over the bleeding wounds (Radial or Femoral artery). Make sure the puncture site is completely covered with Axiostat vascular dressing.

Step3: Apply uniform pressure for 5 to 7 minutes.

Step4: Once Axiostat sticks to the wound, check the peripheral area. Incase of peripheral bleeding, apply pressure for 2 more minutes and then apply secondary dressing to keep Axiostat in position.

Step 5: To remove, irrigate Axiostat with saline or water. As it turns into gel, gently peel it off.
