Medcura has developed a robust and diverse range of products that innovatively control bleeding. Each of our products is engineered to provide improved bleeding management while creating antibacterial barriers and improved healing environments. Our novel approach to stop post-operative bleeding after routine angiography is merely the first in a growing product line of tools that can assist care providers to improve the lives under their care.
Many patients experience an increased bleeding nuisance from even routine cuts and scrapes. We’ve developed a line of products for both this underserved market and for everyone who wants higher performance first aid under an antibacterial barrier2-5.
This product is cleared by the FDA for use to rapidly and decisively stop bleeding after diagnostic and interventional vascular access procedures.1
Our cost-effective, high-performance closure device has demonstrated superior performance to the current standard of care in the clinic in both time to hemostasis (bleeding management) and reduction in side effects, which includes improvements in risks of bruising, re-bleeding, and occurrence of occlusions.
Non-compressible internal bleeding, generally in the abdomen, is the largest cost of life in combat for US troops. This is bleeding that is not addressable by direct pressure by either gauze or tourniquet, and that is particularly difficult to treat on the battlefield. In response to a request from the US Military, we’ve created LifeFoam™, a self-expanding injectable biopolymer foam which can be rapidly delivered into a closed cavity to treat internal non-specific hemorrhage.
Over 310 million surgeries6 are estimated to occur annually worldwide. To address this critical unmet need, we are building LifeGel™, a transparent, easy-to-apply gel which has no special storage requirements and is highly effective at treating bleeding from parancyhmal tissue in both open and minimally invasive interventions.
These products (1K143466 and 2K172010) are not yet commercially available.
