Hemostat Manufacturing GmbH is a specialized company in the field of hemostasis, developing innovative medical products for bleeding control and adhesion prevention. Our focus is on producing highly effective hemostatic agents that support surgeons around the world. With our product STARSIL® Hemostat, we have created a solution that quickly and reliably stops bleeding and can help prevent adhesions.

STARSIL Hemostat® is a Class III medical device designed for fast and reliable hemostasis, especially for large-area and diffuse bleeding, as well as for effective adhesion prevention — even in hard-to-reach areas. The ultra-hygroscopic STARSIL Hemostat® particles rapidly absorb fluid from the blood upon contact. This increases the local concentration of blood components such as erythrocytes and platelets, as well as serum proteins and thrombin, thereby accelerating the natural coagulation cascade. A dense gel matrix forms, sealing the wound and preventing further blood flow. This makes STARSIL® Hemostat particularly safe and versatile for use in modern surgical procedures.

Our medical products are used in a wide range of specialties, including cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, gynecology, tumor surgery, and general surgery. Especially in procedures with a high risk of bleeding, the use of a reliable hemostatic agent is crucial. STARSIL Hemostat®t helps surgeons achieve rapid bleeding control, even in minimally invasive or robot-assisted surgeries. STARSIL® Hemostat is ready to use and can be stored in the operating room without refrigeration. Once the cap is removed, STARSIL® Hemostat can be applied immediately without any additional preparation, saving valuable time in the OR. Its versatility makes our product an indispensable tool in daily clinical practice.

Adhesions are tissue formations that can develop after surgical procedures, where organs or tissues stick together. These adhesions can be painful for patients and may require additional surgeries. STARSIL Hemostat® helps to prevent such adhesions. The STARSIL Hemostat® powder is generously applied to the mesothelial defect or the tissue to be protected and then fully moistened with sterile saline solution. The polysaccharide particles absorb the fluid and form a dense, gel-like barrier that prevents contact with other tissue during the critical postoperative healing phase. In this way, our product is not only a reliable hemostatic agent but also an effective solution for adhesion prevention.

Absorbable hemostatic powder like STARSIL Hemostat® offers the advantage of being fully broken down and absorbed by the body after application. This significantly reduces the risk of foreign body reactions or granuloma formation. Using STARSIL Hemostat® as a hemostatic agent allows for atraumatic bleeding control. It can minimize the need for electrocautery, thereby reducing thermal tissue damage and the risk of infection. This is particularly beneficial during complex procedures involving delicate blood vessels. As a result, patients benefit from faster recovery and a lower risk of postoperative complications.

STARSIL Hemostat® is based on plant-derived polysaccharides, making it especially biocompatible and safe. Unlike many other hemostatic agents, STARSIL Hemostat® contains no animal or synthetic components and leaves no harmful residues in the body. It acts quickly and reliably and is fully absorbed by endogenous amylase within 48 to 72 hours. In addition, this 2-in-1 product offers a dual function: effective hemostasis and protection against adhesions (adhesion prevention). This combined approach makes our product unique in the market.
