A Comparison of Hemostatic Activities of Zeolite-Based Formulary Finishes on Cotton Dressings.

ABSTRACT: The need for affordable effective prehospital hemostatic dressings to control hemorrhage has led to an increased interest in new dressing design approaches. Here we consider the separate components of fabric, fiber, and procoagulant nonexothermic zeolite-based formulations on design approaches to accelerated hemostasis. The design of the fabric formulations was based on incorporation of zeolite Y as the principal procoagulant, with calcium and pectin to adhere and enhance the activity. Unbleached nonwoven cotton when combined with bleached cotton displays enhanced properties related to hemostasis. Here, we compare sodium zeolite with ammonium zeolite formulated on fabrics utilizing pectin with pad versus spray-dry-cure and varied fiber compositions. Notably, ammonium as a counterion result
