Abstract
Hemorrhage is a significant medical problem that has been an active area of research over the past few decades. The human body has a complex response to bleeding that leads to blood clot formation and hemostasis. Many biomaterials based on various biomacromolecules have been developed to either accelerate or improve the body's natural response to bleeding. This review examines the mechanisms of hemostasis, types of bleeding, and the in vitro or in vivo models and techniques used to study bleeding and hemostatic materials. It provides a detailed overview of the diverse hemostatic materials, including those that are highly absorbent, wet adhesives, and those that accelerate the biochemical cascade of blood clotting. These materials are currently marketed, under preclinical testing, or being researched. In exploring the latest advancements in hemostatic technologies, this paper highlights the potential of these materials to significantly improve bleeding control in clinical and emergency situations.
