Abstract

Uncontrolled bleeding can lead to many complications that might cause multiple organ failures and even death. Of all the hemostatic agents used, chitosan has been reported to show better hemostatic potential. It acts through one mechanism involved in hemostasis that is plug formation by adhering to the injured site. Hence our focus is to enhance the hemostatic potential of chitosan (Ch) hydrogel by incorporating nano whitlockite (nWH: Ca
