Hemostatic agents

Hemostatic agents are substances used to help stop bleeding by promoting the clotting process in the body. They work by either enhancing the natural clotting mechanisms or providing a physical barrier to control blood flow. These agents can be found in various forms, including powders, gauzes, and surgical sealants, and are often used in medical settings during surgery, trauma care, and dental procedures. Their primary goal is to reduce blood loss and foster healing, making them essential tools in emergency medicine and other healthcare applications.
