WATCH: Torrential bleed warning!In this exclusive video, Dr. Andy Tau walks and talks us through his process for treating uncontrolled arterial bleeding.
(SPOILER ALERT: He stops the bleeding.) |
Watch as Dr. Tau uses the Hemospray® Endoscopic Hemostat to treat big GI bleeds, like the Forrest 1a bleed he encounters here.

There are traditional hemostasis therapies, and then there’s Hemospray—a nonthermal, nontraumatic, noncontact modality that doesn’t require the precise targeting of other endoscopic devices for upper and lower GI bleeding.
-
Nonthermal: No tissue changes occur, as are sometimes experienced with thermal modalities.
-
Nonspecific Targeting: Powder is sprayed toward the source of the bleed, so it does not require the en face approach and the precise targeting of other modalities.
-
Nontraumatic: Since no direct force is applied at the treatment site, the powder minimizes the risk of tissue trauma as experienced with other modalities.
-
CO2-powered delivery system: CO2 helps minimize post-procedural pain compared to air.1
-
Noncontact: Aerosol delivery system eliminates the need for direct mechanical or contact forces with the treatment site and the delivery system.

Hemospray has demonstrated results in a wide range of nonvariceal gastrointestinal hemostasis procedures.

Hemospray has also demonstrated successful results with these additional nonvariceal bleed types:
-
Gastritis
-
GI neoplasms
-
Gastric angiodysplasia
-
Mallory-Weiss tears
-
Dieulafoy lesions
-
Post-endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)
-
Esophagitis
