Plant polysaccharide haemostatic agent, bioabsorbable

Plant polysaccharide haemostatic agents are single-use medical devices designed to control bleeding from traumatic wounds, ulcers, or surgical sites by promoting local clotting. These bioabsorbable materials, derived from plant sources like starch or cellulose, are applied directly to the wound and gradually dissolve as they aid haemostasis without leaving residual debris.

These devices are typically supplied in various forms such as sprays, foams, or pads and are regulated as medical devices rather than drugs. They may be used alongside other coagulation factors but are not intended for bone-related bleeding control or antimicrobial purposes, adhering to strict single-use guidelines.
