This animal study, conducted by five independent medical doctors, was performed on swine by completely severing femoral arteries.

The FDA has not granted StopsBleeding™ a general claim for all arterial bleeding situations, and some arterial uses, even if effective, would be off-label uses. However, this study indicates its effectiveness on severed femoral arteries in swine. StopsBleeding™ has been approved for moderate to severe bleeding wounds for humans by the FDA with an Rx prescription, and the FDA has allowed the claim of “Safe in the Wound” for humans. Many doctors in the United States and around the world, including the Ukrainian Military on their frontline soldiers, have used StopsBleeding™ for arterial wounds. CoAg Medical has been granted six awards by the Ukrainian Parliament, presented in person and before Parliament by Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine.
