Which product is a Patch Hemostat?

• A. Fabric
• B. Flowable
• C. Powder
• D. Patch Hemostat

Answer: (D)

A Patch Hemostat is a patch-format hemostatic product—essentially a solid sheet applied directly to a bleeding surface. Its job is to adhere to tissue and act as a hemostatic scaffold, helping platelets and the clotting cascade form a seal at the site. This form is distinct from other products that come as a fabric carrier, a flowable gel, or a dry powder, each designed for different application methods. You’d place the patch on the bleeding area, press to secure, and rely on the patch’s matrix and tissue adhesion to promote hemostasis.
