BACKGROUND/AIM This study investigated the antioxidant and antimutagenic properties of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS), a plant-based topical hemostatic agent used in Turkey to treat external hemorrhages and bleeding during dental surgery. While previous studies have examined the antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, and anticarcinogenic properties of ABS, to our knowledge, this is the first study to r...

Objective: In the present paper, it was purposed to examine late impacts of bone tissue recoveries in combination with synthetic grafts and Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), which are effective wound healing diabetic rats.
 Methods: A total 64 Wistar albino male rats diabetes were studied. deformity generated calvarium rats. These divided into 4 different groups. Only saline applied defect gro...

BACKGROUND Oesophageal perforation is a life-threatening pathology that is generally treated conservatively; however, surgical procedures are frequently performed. A topical haemostatic agent, Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), also has beneficial wound-healing effects. AIMS This study aimed to determine the effects of ABS following experimental oesophageal perforations. STUDY DESIGN Animal expe...

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor of childhood. A major feature of this tumor is rapid growth during a proliferation phase in the first year of life, followed by contraction through a slow involution phase. Several complications may emerge during this course. Bleeding at the site of the lesion and infection are the most common complications. 'Ankaferd Blood Stopper' (A...

Objective: Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), a mixture of five medicinal plant extracts, has been used historically as a haemostatic agent. The aim of this in vivo study was to investigate the effects of ABS on burn healing using a rat burning model. Materials and methods: A total of 24 male Wistar rats were used in this study. Burns were induced in wistar albino rats divided into two groups as fol...

PURPOSE To investigate the histopathological changes due to administration of Ankaferd Blood Stopper(®) (ABS) into intraocular tissues by an anterior chamber and intravitreal injections. METHODS Twenty Wistar albino rats were divided into four equal groups. Group 1 was injected 0.01 mL ABS into anterior chamber. Group 2 was injected intravitreal 0.02 mL ABS. Groups 3 and 4, which were used as...

OBJECTIVE Several haemostatic agents are available for clinical use. Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), a mixture of five medicinal plant extracts, has been used historically as a haemostatic agent. The aim of this in vivo study was to investigate the effects of ABS on early bone healing using a rat tibia defect model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen male Wistar rats were randomized into two groups o...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to show the hemostatic effect of spray, solution and tampon forms of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), a unique medicinal plant extract historically used as a hemostatic agent in Turkish folklore medicine, in a porcine bleeding model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two 1-year-old pigs were used as bleeding models for superficial and deep skin lacerations, grade II l...
