Ionically assembled hemostatic powders with rapid self-gelation, strong acid resistance, and on-demand removability for upper gastrointestinal bleeding

clotting). Interestingly, the PA imparts the HP powders with strong acid resistance (69.8% mass remaining after 10 days of incubation at pH 1) and on-demand removable sealing while HTCC contributes to fast hemostasis and good wet adhesion. Moreover, the HP powders show good biocompatibility and promote wound healing. Therefore, these characteristics highlight the promising clinical potential of HP powders for effectively managing UGIB.
