Prognostic Factors in Malignant GI Bleeding Treated With Hemostatic Powder

HemosprayTM (Tc-325) is an endoscopic hemostatis powder that came onto market recently. It is made of an inorganic, non-absorbable powder which acts locally at the mucosa. When spraying the powder on to the bleeding site, it creates an adherent stable barrier sheath that allows for at least temporary hemostasis. Neither luminal nor systemic side effects have been reported to date.
