Accidental bleeding is an unavoidable problem in daily life. To avoid the risk of excessive blood loss, it is urgent to design a functional material that can quickly stop bleeding. In this study, an efficient wound dressing for hemostasis was investigated. Based on the characteristics that Ca and fish skin collagen (FSC) could activate the coagulation mechanism, hemostatic cotton was prepared by solvent replacement method using CaCl, FSC, soluble starch (SS), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as raw materials. The cytotoxicity test showed the CaPVA/FSC-SS hemostatic cottons had good biocompatibility. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of CaPVA/FSC-SS(4) was 35.34 s, which was 22.07 s faster than that of PVA/FSC-SS, indicating CaPVA/FSC-SS mediated the endogenous coagulation system. In vitro coagulation test, CaPVA/FSC-SS(4) could stop bleeding rapidly within 39.60 ± 5.16 s, and the ability of wound healing was higher than commercial product (Celox). This study developed a rapid procoagulant and hemostatic material, which had a promising application in a variety of environments.

Hemorrhage caused by trauma is a global public health issue. While traditional cotton gauze compression is commonly used for hemostasis, its efficacy is limited in severe hemorrhage cases. Herein, we developed a gauze with Janus wettability (JW-G).

In the interests of using green and sustainable chemical innovations to create sustainable products with minimized (or no) chemical hazard potential, the polyester fabric in this work was activated and functionalized with chitosan and its durability was investigated. Chitosan is a natural biopolymer derived from chitin. As it has good biocompatibility, bio-absorption, anti-infectious, antibacterial and hemostatic properties and accelerates wound healing, it is increasingly being researched for the antimicrobial treatment of textiles.

Chitosan (CS) is a promising polymeric biomaterial for use in scaffolds forskin models and wound dressings, owing to its non-antigenic and antimicrobial properties. However, CS often exhibits insufficient physicochemical properties, mechanical strength, and bioactivity, limiting its efficacy in demanding applications. To address these challenges, cotton cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) represent a promising nanomaterial for enhancing CS-based scaffolds in tissue engineering.
