Bleeding Control: How SEAL Hemostatic Spray Transforms Emergency Trauma Care

In critical emergencies, stopping bleeding quickly saves lives. For decades, first responders have relied on tourniquets, gauze, and pressure dressings. But now, SEAL Hemostatic Wound Spray is emerging as the next evolution in trauma care—a fast-acting, easy-to-use solution for controlling severe bleeding, especially in hard-to-treat junctional injuries.

🚑 The Evolution of Bleeding Control in Prehospital Medicine

Bleeding remains the leading preventable cause of death in trauma. Common tools include:

• Tourniquets – Critical for limb injuries

• Pressure dressings – Like the Israeli bandage, useful for compressible wounds

• Hemostatic gauze – Infused with clotting agents (kaolin or chitosan)

• Chest seals – Prevent pneumothorax from chest wounds

While effective, these tools struggle with junctional wounds (groin, axilla, neck), where compression or packing isn’t practical.

🔬 What Is Hemostatic Spray?

Hemostatic spray is a pressurized aerosol that creates a protective barrier and stimulates rapid clotting.

Advantages:

• No wound packing required

• Works in seconds, even one-handed

• Ideal for irregular or junctional injuries

• Usable by all responder levels, from police to EMS

This makes sprays indispensable in mass casualty events, vehicle extractions, and hostile environments.

🧴 Why SEAL Hemostatic Wound Spray Stands Out

SEAL Hemostatic Spray is the first FDA-cleared chitosan-based aerosol for bleeding control. Already trusted by EMS agencies, tactical teams, and fire departments, SEAL is redefining bleeding control in the field.

⭐ Key Features

• Stops bleeding in seconds

• Chitosan-based: Effective even in coagulopathic or anticoagulated patients

• Cold-propellant formula: Soothes burns and reduces pain

• Easy removal: Rinses away with saline—no cutting or debridement

📊 SEAL vs Traditional Hemostatic Products

Feature	Traditional Gauze & Agents	SEAL Hemostatic Spray
Application	Requires wound packing	Spray-on, no packing needed
Speed	1–3 minutes	<30 seconds
Burn Risk	Possible (exothermic)	None
Training	Moderate to high	Minimal
Removal	May need debridement	Saline wash-off

🎖️ Who’s Using SEAL in the Field?

SEAL is already deployed by:

• Military combat medics – for battlefield bleeding control

• Law enforcement officers – for gunshot, stab, or crash victims

• Fire & EMS crews – in mass casualty triage and trauma response

• Disaster response teams – for portability and ease of use

Maryland EMS providers have officially approved SEAL, further validating its clinical value.

🔧 Integrating SEAL Into Your Trauma Kit

To maximize SEAL’s benefits, follow these best practices:

1. Brief Training Sessions – A quick in-service boosts user confidence

2. Smart Storage – Place SEAL in outer pockets or next to tourniquets for easy access

3. Protocol Updates – Add SEAL to SOPs for junctional bleeding and secondary control

💡 Where SEAL Excels: Field Use Highlights

Real-world scenarios where SEAL delivers unmatched performance:

• School officers managing stabbings

• Fire crews treating vehicle crash victims

• SWAT medics handling gunshot trauma

• Wildland responders addressing burns alongside bleeding

🩺 Conclusion: A New Standard in Emergency Bleeding Control

SEAL Hemostatic Spray is transforming trauma care with its speed, safety, and simplicity. Whether you’re in law enforcement, EMS, or military operations, SEAL offers a clear upgrade over traditional hemostatic tools.
