Novo
7
http://www.novoseven.com/
Description
NovoSeven was introduced in the United States in March 1999.
It is the only recombinant factor VII product available for
the treatment of bleeding episodes and prevention of surgical
bleeding in patients with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors
to FVIII or FIX and patients with FVII deficiency. FVII is
one part of a chain of proteins in the blood that work together
to promote clotting.
For people with FVII deficiency or hemophilia and inhibitors
to FVIII or FIX, the goal is to resolve bleeding episodes
quickly. For a bleed to resolve, a stable clot must be formed
at the site of the bleed so that healing can begin.
So when the deficient factor in the blood-clotting process
can be bypassed or replaced, and the process can continue,
the clot formation is closer to being completed
Under the supervision of a doctor and in the comfort of home,
patients can make every minute count when it comes to resolving
a bleed quickly.

CYKLOKAPRON Tablets and Injection are indicated in patients
with hemophilia for
short term use (two to eight days) to reduce or prevent hemorrhage
and reduce the need
for replacement therapy during and following tooth extraction.
Tranexamic acid is a competitive inhibitor of plasminogen
activation, and at much higher concentrations, a noncompetitive
inhibitor of plasmin, i.e., actions similar to aminocaproic
acid. Tranexamic acid is about 10 times more potent in vitro
than aminocaproic acid.
Amicar

http://www.xanodyne.com/products/pdf/Amicar%20PI%20FINAL%203-06.pdf
Description
AMICAR (aminocaproic acid) is 6-aminohexanoic acid, which
acts as an inhibitor of fibrinolysis . AMICAR is useful in
enhancing hemostasis when fibrinolysis contributes to bleeding.
In life-threatening situations, fresh whole blood transfusions,
fibrinogen infusions, and other emergency measures may be
required.
FLOSEAL

Description
[Hemostatic Matrix] FLOSEAL is an effective hemostat that
stops bleeding in 2 minutes or less (median time to hemostasis).
SyvekPatches
http://www.cathlabdigest.com/article/2250
Description
The SyvekPatch® is made of a naturally occurring polysaccharide
polymer composed of highly purified poly-N-acetyl glucosamine
free of proteins and contaminants. It is used
to promote rapid wound closure and cessation of bleeding in
hemodialysis patients following needle removal. The SyvekPatch®
significantly reduces the duration of compression required
to achieve hemostasis in hemodialysis patients, thus reducing
vascular access damage. Vascular access complications remain
the single greatest cause of morbidity and account for approximately
one third of all admissions and hospitalization days in the
hemodialysis population.
Fibrillar

Description
is used adjunctively in surgical procedures to assist in the
control of capillary, venous, and small arterial hemorrhage
when ligation or other conventional methods of control are
impractical or ineffective. SURGICEL, SURGICEL Fibrillar Hemostats
can be cut to size for use in endoscopic procedures.
FEIBA
http://www.feiba.com/
Description
FEIBA VH is an anti-inhibitor coagulant complex with factor
VIII inhibitor bypassing activity that is indicated for control
of spontaneous bleeding episodes or to cover surgical interventions
in hemophilia A and hemophilia B patients with inhibitors.
In addition, the use of FEIBA IMMUNO (AICC) has been described
in a few non-hemophiliacs with acquired inhibitors to factors
VIII, XI, and XII.
Cyro-Cuff

Iron
Supplements
http://www.gnc.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=iron&origkw=iron&sr=1
(there
are many kinds of iron supplements but I found GNC’s
to be the best kind )
Description
There are 3 main kinds of iron supplements: Ferrous Sulphate,
Ferrous Gluconate and Ferrous Fumerate. Similar to calcium
supplements, when purchasing iron supplements, look for the
elemental iron content, not the Total iron content. For instance,
an iron supplement containing 200mg of ferrous sulfate provides
40 mg of elemental iron. Therefore, this iron supplement in
this example provides 40mg of iron.
Thrombin-JMI
http://www.thrombin-jmi.com/thrombin/thrombin-jmi-home.aspx
Description
Is indicated as an aid to hemostasis whenever oozing blood
and minor bleeding from capillaries and small venules is accessible.
It is a biologically active hemostatic agent that works directly
at the end of the blood coagulation cascade to clot the fibrinogen
of the blood directly To see how Thrombin-JMI® works for
bleeding control.
