Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Nexpowder generates gelation-effects when the powder comes into contact with water, forms a physical barrier to control hemorrhage, preserve ulcer sites and thereby demonstrates its effective hemostatic performance. Hydrogels, which turned into gel-formation through water contacts in the gastrointestinal tract protect the wound sites for over 24 hours, are subsequently detached from the lesion, and completely excreted from the patient body system within 3 days.
Argon Plasma Coagulation, Coagulation including Forcep, Hemoclipping, Band Ligation, Epinephrine or Absolute Alcohol Injecction can be used as standard-of-care hemostatic treatment(s).
