Chitosan haemostatic agents for home use are topical products designed to help stop bleeding from minor injuries like cuts, scrapes, and abrasions. These single-use devices utilize a polysaccharide derived from crustacean shells to create a gel-like plug that promotes rapid clotting at the wound site.
These products are intended for application by laypeople on superficial wounds and are not suitable for severe or emergency trauma. They are supplied in various formats, such as coated gauze or particulate pouches, and may also offer antibacterial properties to support the healing process.
