Nanofibrous Hemostatic Dressings
In article number 2308833, Kye Il Joo, Hyung Joon Cha, and co‐workers developed a protein‐based nanofibrous hemostatic dressing for the treatment of internal bleeding. Mussel adhesive protein was first introduced as a hemostatic agent, and its effect on blood coagulation was confirmed at the inner layer of the dressing. Silk fibroin, consisting of the outer layer of...
Topical hemostatic agents are preferred for application to sensitive bleeding sites because of their immediate locoregional effects with less tissue damage. However, the majority of commercial hemostatic agents fail to provide stable tissue adhesion to bleeding wounds or act as physical barriers against contaminants. Hence, it has become necessary to investigate biologically favorable materials that...
