Power of thrombin with the antimicrobal properties of silver
Thrombin is a powerful clotting agent and platelet aggregator which reduces time-to-hemostasis.1,2 Silver Topical Hemostat chloride (available in D-Stat® Dry Silver Topical Hemostat products only) is an active antimicrobial which prevents microorganisms from colonizing on the pad.
Clinical data to support a true hemostat
Results from a 376-patient, five-center, prospective randomized U.S. clinical study evaluating D-Stat® Dry Topical Hemostat as an adjunct to hemostasis in diagnostic femoral catheterizations using 4-6 Fr. introducer sheaths compared to standard manual compression (control).1,2

WARNING: SEVERE
BLEEDING AND THROMBOSIS COMPLICATIONS
- THROMBIN-JMI® can cause fatal severe bleeding or thrombosis. Thrombosis may
result from the development of antibodies against bovine thrombin. Bleeding may result from
the
development of antibodies against factor V. These may cross-react with human factor V and lead
to its deficiency.
- Do not re-expose patients to THROMBIN-JMI® if there are known or suspected
antibodies to bovine thrombin and/or factor V.
- Monitor patients for abnormal coagulation laboratory values, bleeding, or thrombosis.
