I started using Bleedarrest when my ear, nose and throat specialist gave me some samples at one of my visits. I have a hereditary condition known to the medical profession as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), which causes severe nosebleeds. There is no known cure for this condition as yet. It can be temporarily retarded with procedures such as cautery and laser surgery. What the Bleedarrest product does is act as a dissolving packing, very much like the material the doctor puts in the nose to cause an instant blood clot, preventing a full scale hemorrhage. While it does not cure the condition (nothing does at this time), it does stop the hemorrhaging when packed down with cotton, and prevent severe blood loss.

I had the misfortune this past week to stop some bleeding on my body from a small cut vein. Like many people, I ingest one baby aspirin a day to inhibit platelet activity in pursuit of "heart health." This has the side effect of sometimes making me bleed more from small cuts and nicks, or get a larger bruise when I bump into something. So, this time I got caught on a fence and tore some skin directly over a tiny vein (a "spider"), which bled freely. I applied pressure for a few minutes with a paper towel, but the bleeding continued. Then I applied firmer pressure for 10 minutes with a wadded gauze pad, but the bleeding continued. Finally, I applied hard pressure with the heel of my hand on top of a roll of gauze. No luck.
Ordinarily, I would sit around for 30 minutes applying pressure, but I thought this might be a great opportunity to test out a sample of a product I had been sent for evaluation. BleedArrest powder is composed of tiny hemostatic particles that contain amylopectin, a natural clotting polymer. The sample I was given came in a small plastic bellows applicator from which one easily squeezes out the desired amount of particles.
BleedArrest is intended to help stop moderate to heavy bleeding. It was a good choice for my small bleeding vein. After I applied a pile of the particles and applied pressure, the bleeding stopped for the most part, but I could see that there was still a small amount of fresh blood welling up through the medical dust. I followed the instructions and reapplied another pile, and after the second 5 minutes of pressure, the bleeding stopped. It was easy to brush off the wound in the perimeter around the bleeding point, and then to cover it all with a Coverlet elasticized bandage.
Based on my experience with the product, I'm going to add it to my traveling first aid kit, particularly for outdoor excursions. BleedArrest also comes in a foam preparation, which in certain applications would be easier to use than powder.

I work at Walmart and can't find BleedArrest there, so I will go to Walgreens...I carry one with me at all times for my nosebleeds.

I want to thank you so much for your product called BleedArrest. I am on Coumadin and am sure that is why some of my nose bleeds are so severe---even so BleedArrest works for me!

I am on blood thinners and suffer from nosebleeds—especially in the wintertime. I carry a pack of BleedArrest in my briefcase just in case!
