Core Tip

Core Tip: Patients experiencing upper or lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, whether due to a medical condition or an endoscopic procedure, should be managed immediately using a simple, effective and safe agent or technique. PuraStat^® (TDM-621) is a novel transparent, self-assembled hydro-peptide gel with a hemostatic effect that has been used in endoscopic and surgical procedures, particularly for preventing and managing GI bleeding. It is unique in its ability to adhere to the bleeding site, forming a protective barrier and promoting rapid hemostasis. It has been proven effective and safe compared to currently used agents.
