8 Ways SEAL Hemostatic Spray Helps Police Officers Control Bleeding When Every Second Counts

When officers respond to a vehicle collision, a domestic call, or an active threat, they often arrive before EMS. In those first moments, bleeding control can determine whether a victim or a fellow officer survives.

That is why agencies across the country are equipping their teams with SEAL Hemostatic Wound Spray. SEAL is the first and only FDA-cleared chitosan aerosol designed to stop external bleeding fast. It is compact, intuitive, and proven under real-world conditions.

Here are eight reasons every officer should have SEAL within reach.

1. Controls External Bleeding Fast

When seconds matter, SEAL’s pressurized spray delivers a fine mist of chitosan that helps blood clot quickly on contact. It forms a protective barrier over the wound and slows or stops bleeding before EMS arrives. Officers can act immediately without applying direct pressure.

2. Works Where Tourniquets Cannot

Some of the most serious wounds occur in junctional areas such as the shoulder, groin, or neck where a tourniquet cannot be used. SEAL gives officers a rapid-response option for these critical zones and bridges the gap between first response and advanced medical care.

3. Hands-Free, No-Contact Application

Unlike dressings or powders, SEAL can be sprayed directly onto the wound without touching it. This is ideal for self-aid, buddy-aid, or scenes where contamination or safety is a concern. Hands-free use allows officers to focus on situational awareness while providing immediate care.

4. Compact and Duty-Ready

Designed for patrol and tactical carry, SEAL’s small aerosol canister fits easily in a trauma kit, duty bag, or vehicle medical pouch. It is lightweight, rugged, and ready for daily use in both routine patrol and high-threat operations.

5. Proven Performance in Harsh Conditions

SEAL has been tested under MIL-STD-810H environmental standards and performs reliably in heat, cold, vibration, and humidity. Whether stored in a squad car or carried into the field, SEAL stays ready for deployment in any environment officers face.

6. Safe for Civilian and Officer Use

SEAL is FDA-cleared for external bleeding control and meets strict medical device standards for safety and performance. It can be used on civilians, partners, or for self-care in the field when every second counts.

7. Quick Clean-Up and Easy Removal

Once bleeding has stopped, SEAL can be rinsed away with saline or sterile water for wound reassessment or continued care. There is no sticky residue and no complex removal required, which makes transition to EMS or hospital treatment simple.

8. Trusted by First Responders Nationwide

SEAL is already trusted by police departments, EMS systems, and tactical medics who rely on it in critical moments. It is not just another piece of equipment. It is a modern bleeding control tool designed for real-world use and proven under pressure.

Stay Mission Ready. Save More Lives.

Whether you are a patrol officer, a tactical medic, or a training coordinator, SEAL brings professional-grade bleeding control to the front line. Compact, field-tested, and FDA-cleared, SEAL helps officers control bleeding quickly and confidently until advanced care arrives.
