Abstract: A cylindrical absorbent cotton nasal pack has a rounded tip for a patient's self application in controlling epistaxis. The pack comprises compressed absorbent cotton or cellulosic fiber in the shape of a bullet or capsule to prevent sticking to nasal wall and absorption of blood. One end has a rounded tip and the other end has a flat bottom section (optional dual rounded ends). The flat bottom section has a plastic coating or plastic sleeve made of polyurethane to help grip the nose pack, conceal the site of blood, prevent blood leakage, and prevent contact of blood when disposing of the nose pack. The nose pack is simply inserted with the cotton rounded side up into the bleeding nasal cavity while applying a gentle pushing force until pack is snug at top of nasal cavity. The constant pressure applied from the pack to the nostril wall assists in the coagulation process, which helps stop the nosebleed. The nose pack is sized to be placed within the nasal cavity upon occurrence of a nosebleed.

The pressure that is applied from the pack into the nostril wall assists in the coagulation process, which helps stop the nosebleed. The nose pack is sized to be placed within the nasal cavity upon occurrence of a nosebleed. When the nosebleed is ended, the nose pack may be removed by applying pulling force to the bottom of the nose pack. When removing the pack, blood clot(s) that collected during the coagulation stage will also naturally be released.
