Did I every tell you about this?
We conclude that sprayed phenylephrine (0.25%) can be used for reducing superficial bleedings. This method is simple, cost-effective, does not cause further trauma to the tissue, and can be used to treat several bleedings simultaneously (especially abrasions and lacerations) with a single application, without the need for direct physical contact with the bleeding sites.
