Renal Therapies
StatSeal helps STANDARDIZE, SIMPLIFY and MINIMIZE post procedure care and maintenance of renal therapy procedural sites. StatSeal’s ability to create an instant occlusive seal to stop bleeding, while stacking blood solids beneath make it an ideal pressure adjunct for achieving fast, consistent hemostasis following dialysis and other renal therapy procedures.
StatSeal Products for Renal Therapies
Value Proposition
How StatSeal Works
StatSeal products are comprised of a hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate. As a manual pressure adjunct, StatSeal products have a two-step mechanism of action that occurs simultaneously to instantly form a low pH occlusive seal or physical barrier over the wound site, letting nothing in or out.
The hydrophilic polymer rapidly dehydrates the blood and absorbs exudate, stacking up desiccated blood solids beneath to form a seal.
The potassium ferrate binds the blood solids and proteins together, adhering the seal to the wound to stop bleeding and oozing.
Beneath the seal, the pH is neutral and blood solids and proteins continue to stack naturally. Above the seal the hydrophilic polymer acts as a desiccant and creates an acidic environment with a pH of ~ 2.
On the right is a colorized microscopic image of the seal created by StatSeal. The catheter is purple, the blood components creating the seal are colored red and StatSeal powder is the brown substance directly over the seal.
Clinical Discussion & Messaging
StatSeal Applications for Renal Therapies
- Fistuloplasty: Closure after sheath removal
- Hemodialysis: Hemostasis after needle removal
- Temporary & Long-Term Dialysis Catheters: Maintain a dry and intact insertion site
Clinical Benefits of StatSeal Use for Fistuloplasty and Hemodialysis Recovery
StatSeal offers several clinical benefits in the dialysis setting, particularly following fistuloplasty sheath removals or hemodialysis needle pulls. Its use can significantly reduce the duration and intensity of manual compression, decreasing hold times from ~20 minutes to less than 5 minutes. By avoiding excessive pressure and prolonged compression, StatSeal helps support improved vessel patency – a key point since “too long and too strong is wrong.” Importantly, StatSeal functions independently of the clotting cascade, making it an effective option for patients who are prone to bleeding. Once applied, the seal remains over the access site to help prevent rebleeding and naturally falls off as the wound heals. Additionally, StatSeal is hypoallergenic and non-systemic, meaning it does not enter the bloodstream, further enhancing its safety profile for repeated use in dialysis patients.- Reduces reliance on prolonged manual pressure
- Works regardless of anticoagulation levels
- Reduces rebleeds and associated complications
- Supports same-day discharge and shortens chair time
- Reduces clinician burden, time and costs
- Improves patient throughput and scheduling efficiency
Clinical Benefits of StatSeal Dressings for Indwelling Dialysis Catheters
StatSeal topical dressing products offer a novel solution to help STANDARDIZE, SIMPLIFY and MINIMIZE post procedure care and maintenance of dialysis catheter insertion sites. StatSeal hemostatic dressings work independently of the clotting cascade to form an instant occlusive seal over catheter insertions that prevents oozing, bleeding, and dressing disruption by keeping sites dry and intact until the scheduled dressing change. Prophylactic use of StatSeal on catheter insertion has been shown to minimize dressing disruption, a known risk factor for infection, by effectively reducing exit site bleeding.Creates an Instant Seal
- Works with any protein-rich body fluid to prevent oozing and bleeding
- Does not rely on clotting cascade – works for patients prone to bleeding
- Significantly reduces unplanned dressing changes
- Keeps sites dry and intact, until the scheduled dressing change
- Controls catheter exit site bleeding
- Improves delivery of atraumatic care and patient comfort
