To accelerate healing of severe hemorrhagic wounds, a novel highly absorbent hemostatic dressing composed of a Tencel®/absorbent-cotton/polylactic acid nonwoven base and chitosan/nanosilver antibacterial agent was fabricated by using a nonwoven processing technique and a freeze-drying technique. This study is the first to investigate the wicking and water-absorbing properties of a nonwoven base...

BACKGROUND Achieving of moisture control especially gingival bleeding control is great challenge in clinical practice. Various hemostatic agents and techniques have been promoted for bleeding control during dental operation. But few studies have focused on the cytotoxicity of hemostatic solutions. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate cytotoxic effect of hemostatic agents on human gingiva...

Study Design Combination of narrative and systematic literature reviews. Objectives Massive perioperative blood loss in complex spinal surgery often requires blood transfusions and can negatively affect patient outcome. Systemic use of the antifibrinolytic agent tranexamic acid (TXA) has become widely used in the management of surgical bleeding. We review the clinical evidence for the use of in...

OBJECTIVE To assess the hemostatic efficacy of a new local hemostatic agent, Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), for the control of bleeding following tooth extraction in hemophiliacs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Simple tooth extractions were performed in 27 hemophilia A patients. In the treatment group (n=17) local hemostasis was achieved via application of ABS to the extraction sockets, whereas in the ...

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...

background: hydatid cysts are encountered frequently in regions endemic with livestock. the basic treatment for a hydatid cyst is total surgical removal of the cyst and its inner contents. hypertonic nacl or diluted betadine solution are used as germicidal agents for most hydatid surgeries. however, the germicidal efficacy of the ankaferd blood stopper® (abs) has not been investigated. thus, we...

Purpose. Using the classical Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) solution to create active hemostasis during partial nephrectomy (PN) may not be so effective due to insufficient contact surface between the ABS hemostatic liquid agent and the bleeding area. In order to broaden the contact surface, we generated a chimeric hemostatic agent, ABS nanohemostat, via combining a self-assembling peptide amphip...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect hemostatic agent containing aluminum chloride with ferric sulfate on shear bond strength resin-modified glass ionomer cement(RMGIC) dentin in primary tooth. Twenty extracted non-carious human teeth were collected study. specimens cut expose and polished. randomly seperated into 3 groups for treatment; group I: polyacrylic acid(PAA), RMGIC; II:...

Introduction: Controlling parenchymal hemorrhage, especially in liver, is still one of the challenges surgeons face with when they try to save the patients’ lives despite improvements in surgical procedures. There is a research contest between the researchers in this field to introduce more effective methods. This study aimed to compare the hemostatic effect of ferric sulfate and ferric chlo...
