NasalCEASE is a natural based bio-polymer, designed and manufactured with unique properties for the quick and convenient treatment of minor nosebleeds. Doctor recommended, the key attributes of the NasalCEASE packing are:

Stops Bleeding Fast – As soon as NasalCEASE comes in contact with blood, calcium is released. Calcium is a coagulant which actively aids in stopping the bleeding quickly. Calcium continues to be released until the bleeding has stopped.

Easy / Painless Insertion – The soft fibers of NasalCEASE allow it to be quickly and easily inserted into the nasal cavity without any discomfort.

Adsorbs Blood – NasalCEASE continues to adsorb blood throughout the duration of the nosebleed. This unique polymer can adsorb up to twenty times its weight. As a result 90%+ of nosebleeds can be effectively treated with one NasalCEASE packing. This allows the nosebleed sufferer to insert NasalCEASE and forget about it until removal thirty minutes later.

Promotes Healing – As NasalCEASE adsorbs blood, the sodium in the blood changes the packing from a dry to moist or gelified mass. This moist mass against the wound site promotes healing. Also as the blood is continually adsorbed into the packing and not just pooling between the packing and the wound site, the size of the clots are less. Excessive clots can often cause bleeding to reoccur.

Non-stick Removal – As NasalCEASE changes to a moist / gelified mass, the packing doesn’t stick to new clots, preventing resistance and pulling on clots when removed.

No Rebleeds – Disturbing new clots causes rebleeding 10% to 15% of the time. As NasalCEASE doesn’t stick to new clots, it doesn’t cause rebleeding.

NasalCEASE is sold in boxes of five sterile packs. Each sterile pack treats one nosebleed. The individual sterile packs are conveniently stored and are very portable, ensuring easy availability whenever and wherever a nosebleed occurs. The product has a five year shelf life.

What are Nose Bleeds?

The medical term for nosebleed is epistaxis. The origin of epistaxis is Greek, meaning a dropping.

Recurring nosebleeds impact many more people annually than the average person would imagine. Quantitative research shows that 30% of US households have one or more sufferers of recurring nosebleeds. Nosebleeds impact all age groups and both genders.

Recurring nosebleeds have multiple causes, resulting in a year round problem. Major related causes include:

- People who live in very dry climates
- Households becoming very dry, particularly in the winter with the heat
- People taking blood thinner Rx medications (Coumadin and Plavix) and/or baby aspirin.
- Sufferers of chronic blood based diseases, such as hemophilia and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)
- Oncology patients whose treatments can cause nosebleeds
- People suffering from hypertension
- Trauma based nosebleeds from sports and/or activities in cold or high altitudes
- Trauma based nosebleeds from excessive nose picking or excessive nose blowing
- People having anatomical issues with their nasal passages.

- Allergy sufferers who dry up their nasal passages with Rx and/or OTC medications and start to experience nosebleeds

Over 90% of nosebleeds are not life threatening. However they are embarrassing and very disruptive to one's life, causing the sufferer to hide in the bathroom while trying to stop the bleeding. Often sufferers are unable to stop the bleeding and end up in the ER.

The lack of an effective, easy to use self treatment for recurring nosebleeds has left both sufferers and physicians frustrated!
