Chitosan-Based Aerogel Particles as Highly Effective Local Hemostatic Agents. Production Process and In Vivo Evaluations

Chitosan aerogels with potential applications as effective local hemostatic agents were prepared using supercritical carbon dioxide drying to preserve the chitosan network structure featuring high internal surfaces and porosities of up to 300 m²/g and 98%, respectively. For the first time, hemostati...

For the first time, hemostatic efficacy of chitosan-based aerogel particles was studied in vivo on a model of damage of a large vessel in the deep wound. Pigs were used as test animals. It was shown that primary hemostasis was achieved, there were no signs of rebleeding and aerogel particles were tightly fixed to the walls of the wound canal. A dense clot was formed inside the wound (at the femoral artery), which indicates stable hemostasis. This study demonstrated that chitosan-based aerogel particles have a high sorption capacity and are highly effective as local hemostatic agents which can be used to stop massive bleeding.https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/12/9/2055aerogelschitosanblood sorptionin vivo evaluationslocal hemostatic agent
