The Healsoon™ Absorbable Hemostatic Powder is a sterile topical hemostatic agent developed to assist rapid control of capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding during surgical procedures. The product is based on absorbable polysaccharide technology, which accelerates natural clot formation by rapidly absorbing plasma and concentrating coagulation components at the bleeding site.
Product Overview
Healsoon™ belongs to the category of bioabsorbable surgical hemostatic powders commonly used across multiple surgical specialties when conventional methods such as ligature, suturing, or cautery are insufficient or impractical. Similar plant-based polysaccharide hemostats are widely recognized for:
- Rapid hemostasis
- Broad surgical applicability
- Easy topical application
- Excellent biocompatibility
- Fully absorbable composition
- No human or animal-derived materials
Key Features
Rapid Hemostatic Action
- Absorbs plasma immediately upon contact with blood
- Concentrates platelets, fibrinogen, and clotting proteins
- Accelerates formation of stable clot matrix
- Supports bleeding control within minutes in many surgical applications
Plant-Based Polysaccharide Technology
- Manufactured using purified starch-derived polysaccharides
- Non-animal and non-human derived formulation
- Reduced immunogenic risk
- Thrombin-free technology
Fully Absorbable Material
- Bioabsorbable and biodegradable
- Typically metabolized naturally after implantation
- Minimal residual foreign-body presence
- Designed to support natural tissue healing
Ready-to-Use Surgical Format
- Sterile dry powder formulation
- No refrigeration or mixing required
- Easy application on irregular or difficult-to-access bleeding surfaces
- Suitable for open and minimally invasive surgery

Mechanism of Action
Polysaccharide hemostatic powders function through a hydrophilic molecular sieve mechanism:
- Rapid absorption of plasma fluid
- Concentration of:
- Platelets
- Red blood cells
- Fibrinogen
- Clotting factors
- Formation of gel-like matrix
- Accelerated coagulation cascade
- Mechanical barrier formation over bleeding surface

Healsoon™ Absorbable Hemostatic Powder may be used in:
- General surgery
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Orthopedic surgery
- Urology
- Gynecology
- ENT procedures
- Trauma surgery
- Laparoscopic surgery
- Minimally invasive procedures
Typical indications include:
- Capillary bleeding
- Venous oozing
- Diffuse surgical bleeding
- Broad tissue surface bleeding
- Difficult-to-access surgical sites
Advantages of Polysaccharide Hemostatic Powders
Compared with conventional hemostatic approaches, absorbable polysaccharide powders may provide:
- Faster hemostatic response
- Broad-area coverage
- Simple surgical workflow
- Reduced preparation time
- Excellent handling characteristics
- Improved conformity to irregular anatomy
- No requirement for biologic thrombin additives
Safety Information
As with other absorbable hemostatic powders:
- Intended for topical use only
- Should not be injected intravascularly
- Excess material may require irrigation after hemostasis depending on surgical site
- Use should follow physician judgment and IFU recommendations
