Endoscopic hemostat
Nexpowder is a powdery wound dressing for endoscopies made of biocompatible polymer, used for gastrointestinal bleeding. It is a convenient and safe product that can be used where the bleed is occurring without direct contact to the tissue, regardless of the bleeding location.
Nexpowder is sprayed through the endoscope, and when it comes in contact with water, as well as blood, gelation occurs; physically applying pressure to the wound to prevent bleeding.
This adhesive gel also protects the wound, prevents contamination, and loss of body fluids that may occur through the wound.
The gel removes itself and is excreted within 1 to 3 days.
