Abstract
Abstract An improved styptic composition which effectively curtails bleeding while administering a soothing sensation on the injured area. The styptic composition is in the form of a stable lotion or cream having the following general formula: (1) from about 2% to about 12% by weight of a long chain fatty acid; (2) from about 0.4% to about 3.5% by weight of a wax filler; (3) from about 1% to about 10% by weight of polyethylene glycol stearate; (4) from about 1% to about 5% by weight of polyethylene glycol sorbitan beeswax; and, (5) from about 0.5% to about 25% by weight of an acidic metallic salt, (6) the balance being water. Optionally, from about 1% to about 4% by weight of glycerin may be added as a humectant. Any conventional antiseptic may also be added to the composition. The styptic composition may be packaged in any convenient form including jars, bottles, tubes, pump applicators, aerosol canisters and can also be impregnated into pre-packaged bandages.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A non-sting styptic composition as a stable cream or lotion comprising: (1) from about 2% to about 12% by weight of a saturated or unsaturated long chain fatty acid having from nine to twenty-three carbon atoms therein and selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid; (2) from about 0.4% to about 3.5% by weight of a wax filler selected from the group consisting of microcrystalline wax, paraffin wax and beeswax; (3) from about 1% to about 10% by weight of polyethylene glycol stearate; (4) from about 1% to about 5% by weight of polyethylene glycol (20) sorbitan beeswax; and, (5) from about 0.5% to about 25% by weight of an acidic metallic salt selected from the group consisting of aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum amonium sulfate, aluminum potassium sulfate, zinc chloride, zinc sulfate, zinc chlorohydrate, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, ferric chlorohydrate and combinations thereof, said acidic metallic salt being characterized by possessing a degree of acidity sufficient to stanch the flow of blood and being capable of being formulated into said stable cream or lotion, (6) the balance being water.
