Multiple Non‐Covalent Cross‐Linked Multifunctional Strong Hemostatic Agent for Dynamic Exposure Hemostasis

Trauma requires immediate hemostasis during primary care, as well as durable hemostasis that can withstand dynamic wound exposure. Although current hemostatic materials can treat bleeding sites in emergency situations, their mechanical strength and storage conditions limit their practical application. The simultaneous combination of good mechanical properties, storage stability, biocompatibility, and rapid hemostasis of hemostatic materials remains a challenge. In this paper, a novel hemostatic material based on multiple non-covalent bond crosslinking, which has excellent mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, storage stability, and rapid hemostasis ability, is reported. Under the drive of multiple non-covalent bonds, the flowability of hydrogel micro-modules (HM) decreases rapidly within 20 s after exposure to physiological saline. The HM form a gel barrier with a tensile strength of 62.10 kPa and an elongation at break of 1976% under multiple non-covalent bonding. Furthermore, the mechanical properties do not change significantly after 30 days of storage. Cell viability is maintained at over 80% after 3 days of incubation with the cells, and the hemolysis test shows a very low hemolysis rate (2.08%). The hemostatic gel formed by HM effectively prevents secondary bleeding in dynamic hemostasis experiments simulating transportation. This work provides a hemostatic material with comprehensive properties for practical applications.
