AMPTM (Absorbable Modified Polymer) particles are synthesized from purified plant starch, contain no animal or human components and are absorbable, biocompatible and non-pyrogenic.

A family of single-use application instruments will enhance the delivery of AMPTM to the wound sites for control of capillary, venous, and arteriolar bleeding. Hemostasis is typically achieved rapidly after using AMPTM products. An instant dehydration of the blood causes a concentration of red blood cells, platelets and other coagulation proteins that creates a gelled matrix and the formation of a durable clot at the wound site. Following hemostasis, irrigation of the particles by normal saline rinse is recommended. The AMPTM particles are easily dissolved naturally within several days.

Starch Medical has a proprietary technology platform that includes powders, foams, and films that will participate in the worldwide multi-billion dollar biomaterial, hemostasis, and wound care market.
