In the critical moments after a traumatic injury, controlling bleeding can mean the difference between life and death. Whether on the battlefield or at the scene of a serious accident, first responders and medics need fast, reliable tools. One such breakthrough tool is the Axiostat MIL88 Hemostatic Patch—a compact, chitosan-based dressing designed to stop severe bleeding within minutes.
What Makes the Axiostat MIL88 Different?
The MIL88 patch is an 8×8 cm sterile dressing made using 100% chitosan, a natural biopolymer known for its powerful bio-adhesive and clot-promoting properties. When applied to a bleeding wound, the patch creates an electrostatic seal that physically binds to the wound surface, rapidly achieving hemostasis even in challenging conditions.
Unlike traditional gauze, MIL88 doesn’t rely on pressure alone. It activates clotting at the point of contact, reducing blood loss significantly—especially vital in deep or arterial wounds.
Combat-Tested. Clinically Approved.
The Axiostat MIL88 is:
- FDA-cleared and CE-certified
- Used by armed forces, disaster response teams, and emergency medical services
- Tested in real-world combat, road accidents, and trauma surgeries
- Proven to reduce bleeding time and improve patient survival
Its compact, vacuum-sealed design makes it easy to carry in military IFAKs (Individual First Aid Kits), ambulances, and even civilian emergency kits.
Why Chitosan?
Chitosan is derived from natural sources and has a unique ability to form strong clots without requiring the body’s natural clotting factors. This makes the MIL88 patch effective even in patients with coagulopathies or in hypothermic conditions, where natural clotting is impaired.
Easy to Use, Safe to Remove
One of the biggest advantages of Axiostat MIL88 is its painless removal. It doesn’t disintegrate like kaolin-based dressings or leave behind particles. When it's time for wound care at the hospital, medical professionals can remove it with saline, leaving the wound surface intact.
Who Should Use Axiostat MIL88?
- Military Medics dealing with battlefield injuries
- First Responders in road traffic accidents or disasters
- EMS Teams requiring reliable hemostasis in pre-hospital settings
- Industrial Safety Officers managing high-risk environments
- Outdoor Adventurers and survivalists adding to trauma kits
