Hyderabad: Gastroenterologists at AIG Hospitals, Gachibowli on Wednesday announced the successful use of Hemospray technology, a cutting-edge endoscopic spray that stops internal gastro-intestinal bleeding in less than 10 minutes, significantly improving the chances of patient’s survival from bleeding.
“With its reassuring attributes of no human or animal proteins, allergen-free formulation, and metabolic inertness, this spray represents a game-changer in ensuring both safety and efficacy in gastrointestinal interventions,” Dr. D Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman and Chief of Gastroenterology, AIG Hospitals, said.
The first use case of Hemospray in India was performed by Dr. D Nageshwar Reddy and Dr. Mohan Ramchandani on a-49-year-old female liver cirrhosis patient, admitted with active GI bleeding.
“The most important use-case of Hemospray would be in emergency situations, where even a resident doctor can use the device and stop the bleeding immediately and save a patient’s life,” Dr. Mohan Ramchandani,
Director, Therapeutic Endoscopy, AIG Hospitals said.
