HEMOSTATIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING BLEEDING

摘要

The invention provides hemostatic compositions useful to promote hemostasis at active bleeding wound sites. The hemostatic compositions typically include a n article containing cellulose, e.g., cotton gauze, and a polysaccharide covalently linked to the cellulose, or a polysaccharide ionically cross-link ed and in association with the article. Methods of making and using the hemostatic compositions are also provided.
