Abstract
hemostatic abilities as compared with PerClot. Notably, the St-SP sponge attained complete hemostasis without any compression in 61.5 s and made a great difference compared to PerClot (169 s) for the irregular wound constructed on the rabbit liver. In addition, the St-SP sponge had good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. It turns out that the newly developed St-SP sponge is a promising material for first-aid hemostasis of irregular and non-compressed wounds.
