I have used the chitoseal with no problems i eve used with an ACT of 240 it worked like a charm. the secret is to allow the patch to get some blood and apply firm pressure to the site and release the proximal pressure, above the insicion site, after only one minute, but do not apply too much pressure because if you hold too long with a lot of pressure when you release is like releasing a dam and you will have too much pressure into a site that is close only on the outside, if you let the blood come out while you hold pressure there is better exchange of the product with the inside of the artery and better and quiker hemostasis. good luck [email protected] if you have any questions.

I have worked with the patches for the past year and I am convinced that they are the best. The problem comes when nurses use manual pressure just like when they are holding manual pressure on a puncture site. The key to the successfull use of patches is to hole pressure lightly and allow some blood to soack the patch while holding firm pressure to the site. the blood will stop and you will achieve hemostasis in about 5 minutes with no complications. I have been using this method with 100% success. if you require more info please contact me at [email protected] I am convinced that these patches are the best.
