Super-Elastic Carbonized Mushroom Aerogel for Management of Uncontrolled Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Uncontrolled hemorrhage is still the most common cause of potentially preventable death after trauma in prehospital settings. However, there rarely are hemostatic materials that can achieve safely and efficiently rapid hemostasis simultaneously. Here, new carbonized cellulose-based aerogel hemostatic material is developed for the management of noncompressible torso hemorrhage, the most intractable issue of uncontrolled hemorrhage. The carbonized cellulose aerogel is derived from the Agaricus bisporus after a series of processing, including cutting, carbonization, purification, and freeze-drying. In vitro, the carbonized cellulose aerogels with porous structure show improved hydrophilicity, good blood absorption, and coagulation ability, rapid shape recoverable ability under wet conditions.
