Solution Overview

Problem

Current hemostatic compositions are inadequate in quickly controlling massive bleeding, especially in emergency and battlefield situations, as they often require cumbersome mixing procedures and are ineffective in maintaining hemostasis under intense bleeding conditions.

Innovation Solution

A grid-forming water-soluble haemostatic composition, Hemoblok, comprising a polyacrylic matrix with a bactericidal agent, which forms a stable clot on the wound surface by binding with blood plasma proteins and silver ions, providing rapid and effective hemostasis without the need for extensive mixing or application time.

AI summary

According to some aspects of the invention a method for creation of a wound covering with haemostatic action includes: applying to an open wound a cell structure (grid)-forming water-soluble haemostatic composition designated as a Hemoblok consisting of a polyacrylic matrix as an active ingredient, where the matrix includes one or more polymeric carboxylic acid of a predetermined average molecular weight range, and a bactericidal agent; creating by Hemoblok on a wound surface a structure clot formation with blood plasma proteins, including albumin; creating by Hemoblok on the wound, a covering containing albumin molecules in cells of a polyacrylic structure matrix (grid), which is a primary organizer of sustainable grid structure clot film; further supplying of Hemoblok on an open wound surface to form a multilayered solid grid structure film; terminating of Hemoblok supply on a wound surface with following gradual replacement of a surface structure hemoblok-protein by fibrin.
