3M Nexcare Blood-Stop is a protective strip with a non-woven gauze insert and conformable adhesive. It contains an active substance of calcium salt, oxidised cellulose sodium, microdispersed, a homeostatic agent that has a clotting action and reduces the possibility of rebleeding. The non-woven gauze is responsible for protecting the wound from contamination and its structure allows the skin to breathe.
It is designed to protect injuries such as scratches, grazes or superficial cuts. It is ideal for optimising the healing process. It also helps to preserve the injury in a suitable physiological thermal environment. They are soft and can be worn for up to 4 days without losing their effect. In addition, their fabric is flexible, so they can be used on joints such as elbows, knees and ankles.
The oxidised calcium and sodium salt that makes up these dressings comes into contact with blood and other secretions from the wound and forms a gel-like layer that acts as an anticoagulant, causing the wound to begin to heal more quickly and preventing additional sacrum from being generated. In addition, the calcium is perfect for creating an optimal environment that allows not only healing but also re-epithelialisation of the skin.
They come in 14 units of different sizes, so you should choose the one that best suits the type of injury you are looking to protect. They are skin-coloured.
