Recent advances in hemostatic biomaterials are reshaping bleeding management, with endorsements from the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. These agents are entering clinical use in trauma, surgery, and emergency departments globally.

Synthetic platelet surrogates

Nanoparticle-based particles mimic platelet function, aggregating at injury sites. These show promise in thrombocytopenic patients, reducing reliance on transfusions in massive hemorrhage protocols.

Peptide-based sealants

Self-assembling peptides form nanofiber networks upon contact with blood. These are being tested for neurosurgical and hepatic applications, offering precise control without inflammation.

Chitosan-based sponges

Enhanced chitosan formulations resist degradation in acidic environments, effective in gastrointestinal bleeding. Rural hospitals in India are adopting these for upper GI hemorrhage management.

Fibrinogen concentrates refinements

Concentrates with improved stability are enabling prehospital use. Protocols in Europe emphasize early fibrinogen replacement to correct coagulopathy in trauma-induced bleeding.
