  • Patent number: 11052172
    Abstract: The invention relates to a kit to prepare an hemostatic flowable comprising: —A hemostatic powder having a composition comprising: ?non-cross-linked collagen of the fibrillar type comprising a content of fibrous collagen and/or fibrillar collagen of at least 70% by weight relative to the total weight of the collagen; ?at least one monosaccharide; and ?at least one glycosaminoglycan; —A saline solution to be mixed with the hemostatic powder in order to form the hemostatic flowable. The invention also relates to a method for preparing an hemostatic flowable with such a kit, comprising the steps of: a. Providing the hemostatic powder in a container; b. Adding a quantity of the saline solution in the container enclosing the hemostatic powder, closing and shaking said container in order to promote hydration of the hemostatic powder to form the hemostatic flowable.

  • Patent number: 10283015
    Abstract: A device to simulate a surface bleeding is provided. The device includes A source of a blood liquid; A pump system connected to the source of blood liquid and configured to provide a controlled flow of said blood liquid; A wound simulator having an open chamber connected to the pump system to receive the controlled flow of blood liquid, wherein the wound simulator includes a set of interchangeable plates having a plurality of holes arranged through said plates according to a specific pattern, and each plate being adapted to be removably mounted on the wound simulator to close the open chamber, so that blood liquid flows out of the chamber through the holes of the plate mounted on the wound simulator.
