Patent ID: 8609129

Claim:
A system for delivering a hemostatic agent to a wound, the system comprising: a composition of a hemostatic hectorite clay material combined with a glycol humectant in a stable suspension, said glycol humectant in said stable suspension acting to create a hydrophilic matrix and said composition including: a) 40-70% propylene glycol; b) 20-40% hectorite clay; c) 5-15% H 2 O; d) 1-10% carbomer; and e) 1-10% triethanolamine; and an absorbent mesh fabric having said composition embedded therein to adhere to the wound, permit at least some of said composition to come into contact with a bleeding source, effect hemostasis of bleeding, accelerate stable clotting, prevent displacement of said composition by arterial pressure and be easily removed; said stable suspension allowing for increased embedment in said mesh fabric matrix and acting to create elasticity providing wound conformation.
