GET READY FOR SURVIVAL MODE
Helps protect the wound from infections: The seal created by the powder has the unique quality of not allowing blood OUT of the wound or bacteria IN to the wound!
WoundSeal Powder is composed of a hydrophilic, or water-loving, polymer and potassium ferrate. When the powder is poured onto a bleeding wound, the hydrophilic polymer instantly dehydrates the blood by absorbing only the plasma or liquid portion of the blood stacking the blood solids beneath the powder.
Simultaneously the potassium ferrate dissolves, releasing iron that agglomerates (binds together) the blood solids to create an occlusive seal.
As manual pressure is applied to the powder, the seal is pushed into contact with the wound. The natural glue-like nature of drying blood adheres the seal to the wound and surrounding skin. The occlusive seal, that has formed in seconds, stops further bleeding or oozing. Blood solids continue to stack beneath the seal, strengthening it. The natural clotting process proceeds below the seal.

What is WoundSeal Powder and how does it
work?
WoundSeal Powder is a non-prescription topical powder.
The ingredients are a hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate. In
combination with manual pressure to the wound, the powder quickly forms
a strong scab that completely covers the wound and stops the bleeding.
WoundSeal Powder is not a vasoconstrictor or a cauterizing agent, is not
biologically derived and is non-toxic.
On what type of wounds can I apply WoundSeal
Powder?
Use WoundSeal Powder on external wounds that have
blood, such as cuts, skin tears, avulsions, nosebleeds, and even wounds
that may later require sutures. If sutures are required, the protective
scab that forms may be removed by a medical professional by soaking it
with saline solution and gently scraping it off. The powder must be
totally irrigated off the wound prior to applying sutures.
Does WoundSeal Powder cauterize or burn the
skin?
No. WoundSeal is a powder wound dressing that works
by combining with blood and forming an instant, protective seal/scab. It
is not a cauterizing agent and doesn’t burn or damage tissue.
Can WoundSeal Powder cause allergic
reactions?
The product is hypoallergenic. No allergic
reactions have been reported.
Can WoundSeal Powder be used with
medications?
Since WoundSeal Powder does not depend on the
blood’s natural clotting mechanism to be effective, it can be used by
people on anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, aspirin therapy or other
blood-thinning medications.
Will WoundSeal Powder work with people who bleed easily?
Yes. WoundSeal Powder does not depend on the blood’s
natural clotting mechanisms to be effective, so it will work on people
who bleed easily.
How do I apply WoundSeal Powder?
After pouring
the WoundSeal Powder onto the wound, apply pressure with your fingers
for 30 seconds to ensure the powder combines with the blood to create a
protective scab. If there is no further bleeding, gently dust off any
excess powder without disturbing the scab. The scab will fall off on its
own when the wound has healed.
How much WoundSeal Powder should I apply?
Apply
as much WoundSeal Powder as it takes to completely cover the wound and
any blood around it. Ensure that there is a layer of dry powder on the
top of the wound before applying pressure.
How large of a wound can I treat?
Generally, one
application of WoundSeal Powder should be enough to cover a 2 inch
laceration; however, if the laceration is deep or severe and blood flow
is significant, an additional application may be needed.
Will I feel any discomfort when I use
WoundSeal Powder?
For wounds with ample blood present you
should feel no discomfort. However, for wounds like abrasions, where
there is little blood present, a temporary warming
sensation might be felt depending on the location and severity of the
wound.
Can I apply WoundSeal Powder to a wound
if I am sweating?
Yes, WoundSeal Powder will instantly form
a protective scab/seal that adheres to the wound, even if the skin is
moist with perspiration.
Should I wash the WoundSeal Powder off after the blood flow
has stopped?
No, it is important to keep the protective scab
clean and dry until it has hardened (usually in one to two hours). Once
the seal/scab has hardened, the treated area can get wet or submerged in
water (i.e., showering or swimming.)
Do I need to remove the protective scab?
No, the
protective scab will fall off naturally.
Do I need to cover my wound to protect it?
You
can cover the wound if desired, but the scab will allow nothing into the
wound, including germs and dirt.
Can WoundSeal Powder be applied along with other creams or
ointments?
No, it is recommended to apply WoundSeal Powder
without the use of creams or ointments.
I only used half a dispenser. Can I save the rest?
No, the powder is moisture sensitive. Once it is exposed to air, it must
be used or discarded.

skin?
Unlike other products on the market, WoundSeal Powder
