What is Coalgan Mèche Double Action Saignement used for?
Coalgan Mèche Double Action Saignement acts as an immediate hemostatic shield for everyday bleeding. This bio-active medical device combines a simple design with proven effectiveness in rapidly controlling nasal bleeding, as well as containing small superficial wounds on the skin or mucous membranes. Its calcium alginate structure, derived from brown seaweed, interacts directly with the blood to promote local coagulation and stabilize bleeding without aggressive intervention. The approach remains gentle, controlled and perfectly suited to family use or routine care.
The calcium alginate contained in the wick comes into contact with the blood and triggers a mechanism for rapid formation of a stable clot. This local reaction acts as a biological safety net, capable of slowing and then stopping blood flow without disturbing surrounding tissues. This targeted action explains thedevice's interest in epistaxis, after tooth extraction or in small puncture sites. The product acts precisely where bleeding occurs, without systemic diffusion.
The special feature of Coalgan Mèche Double Action Saignement lies in the progressive gelation of alginate fibers. This transformation gives the device a dual function: holding the clot in place and enabling painless, non-traumatic removal. Unlike some conventional absorbent materials, the wick does not stick to the tissue. It accompanies the natural healing process, like a protective cushion that transforms and then withdraws, without stripping away the work already done by the body.
This medical device is suitable for everyone, including children, infants, adults and the elderly. Healthcare professionals particularly appreciate it for patients with congenital or acquired haemostasis disorders, as well as those on anticoagulant therapy. In these sensitive situations, Coalgan Mèche Double Action Saignement provides a safe local response, with no known drug interactions and no need to modify current treatment.
Institutional recognition is another of the product's strengths. The recommendation by the French National Authority for Health underlines the clinical interest of this solution for the management of simple bleeding. Each sterile wick is individually packaged, guaranteeing hygienic, practical and safe use, whether at home, in the office or in the medical environment. This presentation reassures and simplifies handling, even in a mild emergency situation.
Coalgan Mèche Double Action Saignement is a reliable local hemostatic solution, designed to rapidly control bleeding, preserve comfort, respect tissues and ensure safe use in a wide range of situations: nosebleeds, small cuts, mucous wounds or minor invasive procedures. Its marine alginate-based technology, extended tolerance and ease of use make it a discreet but essential ally in the first-aid kit.
To complement this local action and provide lasting protection for the nasal or cutaneous mucosa, Bausch+Lomb HEC Ointment for Cutaneous and Nasal Application 25 g can be used in combination. This product is available at the best price on our online site.
How to use these Bleeding Stoppers?
Instructions for use
Moisten the wick exclusively with saline (NaCl 0.9%). Gently insert the wick into the affected nostril or directly onto the wound. In the event of a nosebleed, pinch the nostrils for around 10 minutes while breathing through the mouth. After 30 minutes, remove the wick without using force; any residual fibres will absorb naturally. Consult a healthcare professional if bleeding persists.
