Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate for the first time the remarkable hemostatic performance of a cross-linked graphene sponge (CGS) as a superb hemostat. The CGS can absorb plasma immediately (<40ms) to form a blood cell layer and promotes subsequent clotting. The interaction between the interface of the CGS and blood cells reveals that the fast blood coagulation is primarily attributed to the enrichment of hemocytes and platelets on the wound surface. An in vitro dynamic whole-blood clotting test further highlights the effectiveness of the CGS. Considering the facile preparation, low cost, nontoxicity, and long shelf life of the portable black sponge, the CGS has great potential for trauma treatment.
