Everything you need to know about SEAL
What is SEAL Hemostatic Spray?
SEAL is an FDA-cleared hemostatic spray designed to rapidly stop bleeding. It works by forming a gel barrier over the wound upon contact, instantly halting blood flow while promoting the natural clotting process.
How does SEAL work?
SEAL uses a proprietary formula that reacts with blood to instantly form a protective gel barrier. This barrier physically stops bleeding while simultaneously activating the body's natural clotting factors, providing both immediate and sustainable hemostasis.
Is SEAL safe to use?
