Hemorrhaging from large vessels poses a serious problem in emergency situations when blood loss needs to be immediately controlled. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of two hemostatic dressings in controlling bleeding from a surgically punctured femoral artery. The study was performed on thirteen pigs divided into two groups, of six and seven pigs, respectively. Combat gauze covered with ChitoClear hqg 95 chitosan and Protanal LF10/60 FT sodium alginate was used in the first group, seton covered with identical substances was uses in the second group. Selected hemostatic dressing was applied to the wound 20 seconds after incision and then removed at regular time intervals to evaluate hemostasis. Modified seton was characterized by a shorter time to hemostasis than combat gauze. The result of this experiment indicate that modified seton proved to be a more effective dressing than modified combat gauze.

Background: The aim of our study is to establish whether the bone graft harvested and stored in the surgical wound by our novel technique is safe, reproducible and preserves the viability of the graft. In doing so, it promises successful bony fusion in spine and orthopaedic surgeries.
Methods: A prospective clinical case series was conducted for autogenous bone graft storage in complex spine surgeries requiring staged procedures, in resource constrained settings.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
Antimicrobial hydrogel foam dressing with controlled release of gallium maltolate for infection control in chronic wounds.

Effective treatment of infection in chronic wounds is critical to improve patient outcomes and prevent severe complications, including systemic infections, increased morbidity, and amputations. Current treatments, including antibiotic administration and antimicrobial dressings, are challenged by the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance and patients' sensitivity to the delivered agents. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of a new antimicrobial agent, Gallium maltolate (GaM); however, the high burst release from the GaM-loaded hydrogel gauze required frequent dressing changes.

Achieving timely and effective hemorrhage control is imperative for the survival of individuals with severe bleeding. Hemostatic materials, by enhancing the natural cell-based coagulation response, are essential tools in modern and military medical practice for controlling bleeding, especially in emergency and surgical settings. Here, we report a new type of composite hemostatic material with two different aluminosilicate-based components, kaolin and zeolite, which synergistically work together in different stages of the coagulation cascade reactions.

Reducing unnecessary blood loss in hemostasis is a major challenge for traditional hemostatic materials due to uncontrolled blood absorption. Tuning the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of hemostatic materials provides a road to reduce blood loss. Here, we developed a superhydrophobic aerogel that enabled remarkably reduced blood loss.
