Hemospray is an innovative endoscopic therapy used to control gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. It involves the application of an inorganic powder that adheres to the bleeding site, forming a mechanical barrier and promoting clot formation. This non-contact method is especially useful in emergency bleeding situations where conventional techniques may be difficult to apply due to poor visibility or active hemorrhage. It is particularly beneficial in cases of diffuse bleeding, where pinpointing the exact source can be challenging during active endoscopy.
Hemospray is safe, easy to use, and effective for a wide range of bleeding conditions in the GI tract, including ulcers, tumors, and post-procedural bleeding. It can be rapidly deployed, does not require direct contact with the lesion, and is suitable for patients who are poor surgical candidates or on anticoagulant therapy.Easy to use, it enables fast treatment and lowers the need for surgery, enhancing patient recovery.

Here are some common questions about Hemospray:
Yes, Hemospray is generally safe and well-tolerated. It is especially useful for patients who are not suitable candidates for thermal or mechanical endoscopic therapies.
Hemospray is used in cases of upper or lower GI bleeding from ulcers, malignancies, or lesions when rapid bleeding control is required, particularly in emergency settings.
No, Hemospray provides temporary hemostasis. It is often used to stabilize bleeding while further investigations or definitive treatments are planned.
