ChitoSAM Hemostatic Bandage
ChitoSAM is a modern hemostatic bandage designed for rapid bleeding control in field and emergency conditions. The bandage is made from chitosan fibers derived from shrimp shells; chitosan is a biocomponent with high adsorptive capacity and can bind up to 20 times its weight in fluid, ensuring intensive absorption of blood and exudate.
The mechanism of action of ChitoSAM involves the rapid formation of a gel in the wound due to the interaction of chitosan with blood and wound fluids: chitosan stimulates platelet aggregation and interacts with erythrocytes, promoting the formation of a strong clot that effectively seals damaged vessels. Thanks to this, the bandage can significantly reduce bleeding time even with serious injuries.
The ChitoSAM bandage is distinguished by its flexibility and good proportionality — it is easily cut and shaped for various types of wounds and anatomical areas, making it a universal tool for application to limbs, torso, or other hard-to-reach places. The product does not contain animal proteins, which, according to the manufacturer, makes it safer for individuals with relevant sensitivities.
ChitoSAM is effective both in civilian emergency situations — accidents, industrial injuries, or traffic accidents, and in combat conditions or other extraordinary circumstances where prompt hemostatic assistance is required. The bandage is used both as part of a tactical first-aid kit and in outpatient or hospital settings for initial bleeding control prior to further treatment.
Advantages
Faster hemostasis due to adsorption and gel formation; versatility of use; ease of cutting and shaping; absence of animal proteins; suitable for field and clinical conditions.
