Hemostatic agent delivery system

A hemostatic agent delivery system structured to deliver a hemostatic agent directly to a hemorrhage site and to concentrate and retain said hemostatic agent at the hemorrhage site to facilitate clotting and terminate hemorrhaging, said system comprising:

• a delivery assembly structured to facilitate delivery of an amount of said hemostatic agent directly proximate a hemorrhage site on a patient,
• said delivery assembly structured to releasably contain said amount of said hemostatic agent,
• said delivery assembly comprising a release member disposed in an overlying relation to an oppositely disposed support member and attached about a periphery thereof to at least partially define a pouch to contain said amount of said hemostatic agent,
• at least one seal member comprising a heat reactive adhesive structured to hermetically seal said release member to said support member,
• said release member comprising a soluble material structured to dissolve and release said amount of said hemostatic agent upon disposition of said soluble release member directly proximate the hemorrhage site,
• a handle member attached to an outer surface of said support member and structured to be grasped by a user to facilitate and direct delivery of said amount of said hemostatic agent directly proximate to the hemorrhage site, and
• said hemostatic agent structured to form a stable clot such that the patient may be safely moved and including a beneficiated hectorite clay that is inert and non-reactive with blood.

A hemostatic agent delivery system comprising:

• a hemostatic agent comprising at least a beneficiated hectorite clay that is inert and non-reactive with blood structured to absorb water from blood to facilitate clotting,
• a delivery assembly structured to permit delivery of an amount of said hemostatic agent proximate a hemorrhage site,
• said delivery assembly structured to releasably contain said amount of said hemostatic agent,
• said delivery assembly comprising a release member disposed in an overlying relation to an oppositely disposed support member and attached about a periphery thereof,
• a seal mechanism disposed between an interface of said release member and said support member and structured to provide a hermetic seal therebetween and to at least temporarily contain said amount of said hemostatic agent therein,
• said release member comprising a soluble material structured to dissolve and release said amount of said hemostatic agent upon disposition of said soluble release member directly proximate to the hemorrhage site, and
• a handle member attached to an outer surface of said support member to be grasped by a user to facilitate and direct delivery of said amount of said hemostatic agent directly proximate to the hemorrhage site, wherein said handle member comprises a visual indication to facilitate identification by a user.

A hemostatic agent and delivery system, comprising:

• at least one hemostatic agent including a beneficiated hectorite that is inert and non-reactive with blood clay for facilitating blood clotting;
• and
• a delivery assembly for permitting disposition of an amount of said hemostatic agent proximate a hemorrhage site;
• said delivery assembly including a soluble release member at least temporarily retaining said amount of said hemostatic agent for release upon disposition of said soluble release member proximate to the hemorrhage site.
