Plant polysaccharide haemostatic agent, non-bioabsorbable, non-antimicrobial

Plant polysaccharide haemostatic agents are topical products designed to stop bleeding in traumatic wounds, ulcers, or surgical sites by forming a physical seal. They are applied directly to the wound and work by promoting clotting without dissolving over time, making them suitable for both home and clinical use.

These devices are typically single-use and come in various forms like gels, sprays, or pads, with regulation varying by jurisdiction. They are classified based on their intended use and risk profile, though specific class assignments depend on local medical device laws.
