Uterine tamponade device (novel)
A medical device designed to deliver uterine tamponade to rapidly control postpartum hemorrhage; intended for fast, simple deployment by clinical staff and adapted from proven battlefield hemostatic technology.
Uterine Tamponade Device
A device that inserts compressed minisponges into the postpartum uterus through a curved obstetrical applicator to generate and maintain uniform, hemostatic pressure for postpartum hemorrhage control. The sponges are deployed within a porous, expandable pouch and can be removed without surgery by gentle traction on a removal strand.
XSTAT Technology
A device based on clinically-proven XSTAT technology that deploys highly-compressed, medical-grade minisponges into a trauma wound via a syringe-like applicator to rapidly expand and provide immediate hemostatic effect, capable of stopping high-flow arterial bleeding within seconds without compression.
