  • New Treatment for Gunshot Wounds - XSTAT by RevMedX
    PANAKEIA®, LLC and RevMedx® introduce expanded line of groundbreaking devices to save more lives - More Info XSTAT 30 (Left) Single Pack - NSN: 6510-01-644-7335 XSTAT 12 (Right) Three Pack - NSN 6510-657-4737 Rapidly expanding mini-sponges stop bleeding using internal pressure Fast-acting wound packing in seconds vs. traditional methods CoTCCC recommended for compressible (external) hemorrhage not amenable to limb tourniquet use or as an adjunct to tourniquet removal, (Best for deep, narrow-tract junctional and extremity wounds) XSTAT significantly outperformed hemostatic dressings in 2017 study* *AFSMA RDT&E study “Evaluation of XSTAT and Combat Gauze in a Coagulopathic Model of Lethal Junctional Hemorrhage”, JSOM Volume 17 Edition 3/Fall 2017 Shop RevMedX®
  • Is there any hemostatic agent in it?
    No, there is no hemostatic agent in XSTAT. Recent studies have cautioned about the long-term use of hemostatic agents and the increased risk of embolus formation*. *Otrocka-Domagala, et.al, Safety of the long term application of QuickClot Combat Gauze, ChitoGauze Pro and Celox Gauze, Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, No.2 (2016), 337-343
  • How much pressure does XSTAT exert inside the wound?
    Benchtop testing has shown that XSTAT exerts approximately 10-15% above MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure); sufficient to stop bleeding but not to cause possible ischemia.
  • How do I get the sponges out?
    XSTAT sponges are not absorbable; they can be removed manually using basic forceps. Each mini-sponge has a radiopaque marker embedded on top. Under normal imaging, the sponges will show up as an “x” for clear visibility for removal.
  • What could XSTAT potentially replace from existing treatments?
    Under the Indications for Use, XSTAT could be used as a more effective solution that hemostatic dressings and junctional tourniquets in terms of time of application, potential total bold loss, and ease of use.
  • What is "XSTAT"?"
    XSTAT is a first-in-kind hemorrhage control device designed to quickly stop severe bleeding in junctional areas of the groin or axilla where tourniquets or other methods are not successful. It is the only injectable hemostatic device cleared for pre-hospital internal use.
  • What is inside of the applicator?
    Mini-sponges are inside the applicator. The mini-sponges are made of surgical grade cellulose-a material derived from plants.
  • How does XSTAT work?
    Direct pressure is the most effective way to stop bleeding. XSTAT stops bleeding at the source of the injury. When XSTAT is inserted into the wound cavity and sponges are deposited, they expand up to 10x their original size when in contact with exudate or blood. The sponges fill the wound cavity and provides compressive forces inside to stop bleeding.
  • What are the advantages of using XSTAT versus other hemorrhage control products?
    Most hemorrhage control products are indicated for external use only. XSTAT is a one of a kind dressing that is designed for internal use. XSTAT applies compression at the source of bleeding which stops bleeds more quickly. XSTAT was designed to create pressure inside the wound to possibly alleviate the need for immediate manual external compression XSTAT’s mini-sponges expand fully in 20 seconds resulting in faster hemostasis and significantly less total blood loss (Note: a transfusion can cost around $1,200/unit of blood). Ease of use/intuitive – human factors testing has shown that XSTAT, in the hands of a trained clinician, can be quickly applied with minimal knowledge of the product. Lightweight and compact- an applicator can be easily carried in a kit or bag.
  • Does it come in different sizes?
    Yes, a part of the XSTAT family is XSTAT-30 and XSTAT-12. The XSTAT-30 is 30mm in diameter while the XSTAT-12 is 12 inches in diameter.
  • What is the difference between the two sizes?
    XSTAT-30 is larger than the XSTAT-12 and was designed for large exit wounds. The XSTAT-12 is smaller in diameter and was designed for entrance wounds and other smaller penetrating trauma such as stab wounds and small caliber rounds. In addition, the amount of sponges in the two applicators differ. The XSTAT-30 applicator has around 90 sponges while the XSTAT-12 has around 36 per applicator.
  • Can you explain Compression Zone Technology®?
    Compression Zone Technology® refers to a medical grade compression technology that OS1st invented. Compression Zone Technology® uses varying levels of compression to create orthopedic support. Every compression sleeve uses medical-grade compression equipment. OS1st invented the technology for surgical stockings and supports. They then utilized the technology to create light weight performance compression sleeves for athletes. OS1st combines this technology with comfortable and lightweight materials. Their compression sleeves give support to athletes who push their bodies to the limit.
  • Can I sleep in my FS6 Compression Foot Sleeve?
    OS1st designed the FS6 Compression Foot Sleeve so that you can wear them for an extended period of time. Many people have reported improved circulation and pain relief after the first night’s use. If you experience any discomfort, remove them and wear them during the day.
  • How long can OS1st® compression sleeves be worn continuously?
    The design for OS1st® products mimic the shape of your body to work with your body’s natural angles. You can wear most compression sleeves for 6-8 hours. You can wear them throughout the day whenever you feel you need the extra support.
  • How long will my OS1st® compression sleeve last?
    OS1st® Compression Sleeves use the best materials available. With proper care, our compression sleeves will last 6 months of continuous use. It is natural for compression fabrics to begin to loosen after 6 months of continuous use and washing.
  • What is "Graduated Compression" and how does it work?"
    Within your veins there are valves. If the valves become damaged or weak, compression gives them a boost and helps them to be more efficient. More blood flow back to the heart can improve your health. It can also speed up the healing and recovery process. Compression Sleeves reduce pain and inflammation that come from strenuous workouts and sports-related injuries. Graduated Compression is a new type of technology that will give you continuous compression. Graduated Compression helps your veins work at their greatest level. Compression Zone Technology® improves your circulation and supports your tendons, ligaments and muscles. A Compression Sleeve helps you heal so that you don’t have to slow down.

  • Are the sponges the same sponges as XSTAT?
    Yes, they are the same sponges as the sponges found inside the XSTAT applicator.
  • How long does it take to apply XGAUZE?
    XGAUZE had a 41% reduction in application time compared to standard gauze (about 18 seconds compared to 31 seconds).
  • What is XGAUZE?
    XGAUZE is a unique z-folded gauze impregnated with approximately 130 compressed cellulose mini-sponges. The gauze is a nonwoven spunlace PET gauze that is commonly used in medical products. The sponges are thermally bonded to the spunlace gauze with a polyethylene (PE) film and remain bonded when the dressing is wetted.
  • How does XGAUZE work?
    XGAUZE expands up to 10x their size when in contact with blood or exudate. The expansion provides a level of wound compression when applied. One roll of XGAUZE is capable of absorbing approximately 400 ml of fluid.
  • What is XGAUZE used for?
    It is used for the treatment of moderate to severe external bleeding. XGAUZE applies pressure from all directions in the wound pressure for hemorrhage control. It can be used as a force multiplier in conjunction with other hemostatic dressings in order to provide additional compression at the wound site.
  • How much pressure does XGAUZE exert?
    In a benchtop study*, XGAUZE exerted significantly more pressure on the bottom of the wound than standard gauze, 59% more. On the side of the wound, XGAUZE exerted an 110% increase in pressure over standard gauze. * Bullard, M. et.al. Comparison of XGAUZE Trauma Dressing to Standard Gauze in a Benchtop Wound Model. Presented as a poster at MHSRS, Kissimmee, FL, Aug 2016.
  • How many rolls of gauze does this equate to?
    One roll of XGAUZE is equivalent to 3 rolls of standard gauze in absorption and expansion volume.
