AI Article Synopsis
- Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) is a topical hemostatic agent used in Turkey for controlling bleeding from skin or mucosal surfaces, particularly during injuries and surgeries.
- In a study of 12 pediatric patients suffering from hemorrhagic diathesis, ABS was applied during 15 episodes of oral bleeding, effectively stopping the bleedings in 11 cases.
- ABS has proven effective for treating oral bleedings in children with bleeding disorders, especially when traditional methods have not worked.
Article Abstract
Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) is a hemostatic agent used topically for controlling bleedings of skin or mucosal surfaces in Turkey. It is currently topically used in bleedings of body injuries, traumas, and minor or major surgical interventions. Here we have evaluated 12 pediatric patients with hemorrhagic diathesis on whom Ankaferd was used for oral bleedings. Topical Ankaferd was administered for hemorrhages of oral cavity during 15 bleeding attacks. ABS administrations successfully stopped the bleedings, except for one patient with oral hemorrhage who did not respond to ABS application. Ankaferd is effective for oral bleedings of children with bleeding diathesis especially when other measures have failed.

Background: Failure to achieve effective bleeding control and problems related to transfusion in liver surgery are the most common causes of post-operative mortality and morbidity. Various methods/drugs including topical hemostatic agents have been em-ployed for bleeding control in liver surgery. This study was aimed to investigate the hemostatic properties of the herb mixture extract of Inula viscosa and Capsella bursa-pastoris (IvCbp) in rat liver laceration model, which have been traditionally used as antiseptic and hemostatic agents public in Hatay/Tukey.

In this study, the effects of carnosine, ankaferd, and 1% silver sulfadiazine applied topically on second-degree burns were investigated and the roles of irisin and Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in this healing process were evaluated. Ninety male albino rats were used and divided into five groups. The groups were classified as control, burn, burn + carnosine (CAR), burn + ankaferd (ABS), and burn + silver sulfadiazine (SS).
