Product Overview
and Description
QR™ products are completely safe and non-toxic, for adults and children.
The products do not show a negative response in safety and toxicity testing
required by the FDA, as performed by an independent FDA licensed laboratory.
It forms a "Hematrix"™ scab which protects the wound from
bacteria, germs, irritation and dirt. It is very easy to apply and usually
eliminates the need for an adhesive bandage. QR™ powder is proven effective
in on-going clinical studies. The products have a 97% success rate in an
ongoing clinical study treating lacerations, nosebleeds, skin tears, punctures
and abrasions. In 68 % of successful cases, the bleeding stopped in less
than 15 seconds and in 100 % of successful cases, the bleeding stopped in
less than 1 minute.

Use and Procedure
Using UrgentQR™ powder:
 |
Directions
For Use: UrgentQR powder needs blood to be activated. Apply
only on wounds covered with blood. |
|
| To
Open Dispenser: Tear along the perforations to obtain a
dispenser from the blister pack. Then hold the dispenser upright and
snap open by bending back at the score line. |
|
| Clean
the wound. Do not use oin™ents or creams. As blood reemerges,
sprinkle the UrgentQR™ powder, so it completely covers the wound
and any blood around it. |
|
| Tap
the powder with a gloved finger to ensure the powder comes
in contact with the blood and starts forming the Hematrix™ scab.
If blood begins to leak through or around the powder, dispense more
powder onto the channeling blood and briefly apply pressure with a
gloved finger to ensure the powder is in contact with the blood. Keep
the scab dry for a few hours to prevent it from falling off prematurely.
Leave the Hematrix™ scab until it falls off naturally. |

Features
and Benefits
 |
QR™
powder is composed of a hydrophilic polymer and an inorganic, oxy-acid
salt. |
|
QR™
powder adheres to the wound tissue, absorbing and interacting with
its fluids to form a Hematrix™ scab. |
|
This
unique matrix cover stops the bleeding, protects the wound, and allows
the body's own mechanism to begin healing. |
|
QR™
powder does not depend on the body's natural clotting mechanism to
create a scab. |

Testimonials
These testimonials
were provided by Biolife, the maker of the UrgentQR products.
"You
really have to try this product to believe it!"
"Finally, a product that frees my staff from having to control post-operative
bleeding in nail and skin excision procedures. No more patients' calls with
complaints of "bleeding through" the bandage. No more trips back
to the office to change dressings. You have to try this product to believe
it!"
Barry C. Blass, D.P.M., Tampa, Florida
"The 21st century of first aid has arrived!"
"I got a pretty nasty cut on my finger. Your powder worked perfectly
and stopped the bleeding immediately… I can use the finger almost as
if nothing had happened. I am truly amazed. The 21st century of first aid
has arrived."
Bob Smith, Baton Rouge, LA
"This should be in every wound care
center in the world!"
"Trudy is 78 years old. She has been an insulin dependent diabetic
for 22 years… She fell into the bed frame and gashed her shin. She
was at the hospital for 5 days… the gauze bandage had adhered to the
wound; it was not a pretty sight. There was bleeding and an open wound.
We applied the DermaQR™ and didn't bandage the wound after the initial
application. Over the next several days the entire crust had dropped off
and there was just beautiful pink skin where the wound used to be….
This should be in every wound care center in the world! You will probably
save many diabetics from losing their limbs!"
Christine Sams, Great Abaco, Bahamas
"I
was truly amazed!
"My first time using it was on a nosebleed… the bleeding stopped
instantly! I stood there for a minute waiting to see the bleeding start
up again, and it didn't. I was truly amazed!
Michelle Levesque, RN, Venice, Florida
"It
is fantastic!"
"The most typical way that I am using it is with debriding, removing
corns and heavy calluses, or clipping toe nails. That's the way any podiatrist
would use it. It's fantastic!
Deborah Raine, D.P.M., Nassau, Bahamas
