NexpowderTM* Endoscopic Hemostasis System Clinical Summary

A prospective study assessed the feasibility of Nexpowder™* application in refractory upper gastrointestinal bleeding in 17 patients, and has shown:

  • Successful application in all patients
  • Initial hemostasis in 16 out of 17 patients: 94%.
  • Rebleeding within 30 days was seen in 3 out of 16 patients (19%)
  • Remnants of the gel was evident in 11 out of 16 patients (69%) at the second examination after 24 hours1

In a retrospective study in Korea monotherapy with Nexpowder™* was administered to 56 patients with active bleeding. Immediate hemostasis was achieved in 96.4% (54/56) with a rebleeding rate of 3.7% (2/54) and no adverse events.3

INTENDED USE

The Nexpowder™* endoscopic hemostasis system is used for most types of GI bleeding. The device is applied during an endoscopic procedure and can cover ulcer or bleeding sites. The device is not intended for use in patients with variceal bleeding.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Because the Nexpowder™* system includes lactose, it is contraindicated in patients who have galactose intolerance, lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption and they would be at risk of having nausea, bloating, and diarrhoea. Because the Nexpowder™* system includes Brilliant Blue FCF, it must not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to brilliant blue FCF.
