These instructions provide a step-by-step guide on how to setup and use the NexpowderTM* Endoscopic Hemostatic System.
Watch the Instructional Video or download the Procedural Guide.
In this video, Dr. Beyna discusses his experience with NexpowderTM* in two separate cases, one in the lower GI and one in the upper GI area, and how NexpowderTM* can be applied in both active and non-active bleeding.
In this video Dr. Beyna, demonstrates the assembly of the NexpowderTM* components and using the system on a bleeding site. Upon deployment, NexpowderTM* transforms into a highly adhesive gel that creates a mechanical barrier.

The Nexpowder™* endoscopic hemostasis system is a powder that can be sprayed to an ulcer site, applying an endoscopic hemostatic agent. As a hydrophilic biocompatible adhesive material, it is composed of succinic anhydride (ε-poly-(L-lysine)) and oxidized dextran.
The Nexpowder™* system forms the adhesive gel after making contact with the water or blood by reversible crosslinking. Crosslinked gel helps prevent bleeding, loss of body fluid and contamination of the ulcer site by adhering to the bleeding site in the gastrointestinal tract and then gel degrades within 1 day to 3 days.3,4,5
The Nexpowder™ hemostatic system for endoscopy 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.
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.
For a full indications of use, contraindications, precautions, warnings, and potential adverse events, please refer to the Instructions for Use.
