Sophisticated technology
comes in all forms.

Sometimes it looks like an AI-powered robot. Other times it looks more like a bandage. StatSeal looks a whole lot more like the latter. But don’t call it a patch.

This unassuming little disc does something much bigger: it rapidly and reliably stops bleeding, independent of the clotting cascade, while creating a barrier that protects from infection.

When Merit Medical acquired the seemingly small hemostasis solution and brought it into its broad portfolio of interventional solutions, the opportunity was disproportionately big.

Point A

StatSeal had a
perception problem.

At first glance, it was easy to see a small disc and think hemostatic patch. Trouble is, patches patch—they don’t always do the job. And when hemostasis doesn’t go as planned, it can create a cascade of continued bleeding, repeated work, longer recovery and workflow disruption.

StatSeal was different—it seals. Users knew it. Investigators believed in it. But the scale of the opportunity wasn’t yet easy to see.

Catalytic Idea

Built for Every Bleed.

Through interviews with physicians, clinical leaders, and Merit stakeholders, one thing came through loud and clear:

StatSeal doesn’t care. Because it actually works. For everyone.

Anticoagulated? Doesn’t care. Procedure type? Doesn’t care. Tom, Jane or Bruce? Nothing personal. But it doesn’t care. Its unique mechanism works independently of the clotting cascade, removing a major source of variability from hemostasis.

That became Built for Every Bleed—transforming StatSeal’s lack of discrimination into its biggest differentiators—Reliable. Rapid. Reproducible.

A Merit multiplier.

That universal idea built a foundation we could multiply across Merit. Across closure and insertion-site care. Across transradial and transfemoral access, fistuloplasty, venous ablation, PICC/CVC insertions, dialysis catheters, ECMO cannulas and more. Different applications. Different audiences. One product truth for all.

That breadth made StatSeal a natural fit within Merit’s portfolio, and it gave Merit something big to bring to the table in conversations across cardiac therapy, vascular access, AV access and beyond.

A tiny disc can open some very big doors.

But don’t tell StatSeal.

It doesn’t really care.
