Introduction: In an ongoing effort to improve survival and reduce blood loss from hemorrhagic injuries on the battlefield, new hemostatic dressings continue to be developed. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a novel silicon dioxide-based hemostatic matrix (HM) and compare it with the current military standard Quikclot Combat Gauze (QCG) utilizing a lethal femoral artery injury model.
Materials And Methods: The femoral arteries of 20 anesthetized swine were isolated, and an arteriotomy was performed.
