Abstract
A method of inducing hemostasis in a wound. A hemostatic product is applied to a wound. The hemostatic product includes at least one hemostasis component. The hemostatic product is retained with respect to the wound by positioning a hydrogel material at least partially over the hemostatic product. At least a portion of the hemostatic product is dissolved. Hemostasis is induced in the wound with the at least one hemostasis component. The hydrogel material is separated from the wound. Substantially all of the hemostatic product remains on the wound.
