Kerr Drug rolls out BloodSTOP

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. Kerr Drug last week announced the introduction of a new bleeding control solution to its market with the introduction of BloodSTOP hemostatic gauze, manufactured by LifeScience PLUS.

“When I first saw BloodSTOP and the way it works, I was immediately interested,” stated Scott Porter, category manager – healthCare, Kerr Drug.  “After sampling the product I was sold.  BloodSTOP offers an exciting solution to a sleepy category.  Kerr Drug is always looking for niche items that provide real and innovative solutions for our customers.  I believe we hit a homerun here.”

Resembling a traditional bandage, BloodSTOP acts in less than a minute, reducing clotting times by as much as 75%. When applied to a wound, BloodSTOP quickly absorbs blood and other body fluids, transforms into a gel to seal the wound with a protective transparent layer, actively aids in blood coagulation, and creates an environment for wound healing.  It is water soluble for easy removal without discomfort or disruption to the wound surface.
