Haemostatix was established to commercialise a new technology platform based upon a specific peptide sequence that binds to fibrinogen – a protein essential to the formation of clots. The peptide is coupled to different forms of solid support or soluble carriers to create both topical and systemic haemostats.
This new technology platform is the basis of a pipeline of first-in-class products to treat various forms of bleeding in surgery and trauma, and in leukaemic patients.
