Indian Hemostats Market Report

20thJuly 2016 – Navi Mumbai, India: Market reports on India presents the latest report on “Indian Market Report for Hemostats”. The report shows the Topical hemostats are suitable for minor bleeding and oozing blood from injured capillaries and venules.

A number of topical hemostats are used in surgeries. Topical hemostats are suitable for minor bleeding and oozing blood from injured capillaries and venules. Physiologic hemostasis occurs with vascular constriction and is a complex process in which blood changes from a fluid to a solid state in order to control tissue damage and bleeding. Thrombin binds to platelets and becomes activated. They activate fibrinogen into fibrin. The fibrin monomers combine to create fibrin structures that coagulate open arteries. Platelets aggregate at the injury site (the surgical incision) to form a temporary plug. Topical hemostats mimic this physiological process by adding collagen or thrombin to the site by mechanical means (acting as a physical substrate to aid in hemostasis), or by facilitating the bodys cells to aggregate.

Gelatin-Based Hemostats

Gelatin is collagen that has been processed and denatured. The properties of gelatin allow it to be applied on irregular wound surfaces. When gelatin is applied at the bleeding site, it conforms to the wound and swells. The swollen gelatin particles restrict blood flow and provide a stable matrix around which a clot can form. Gelatin-based products are generally derived from bovine or porcine sources and are available in granular or sponge forms.

Collagen-Based Hemostats

Collagen is a structural protein found in abundance in the human body. It is derived from bovine tendon or ligament. Collagen-based products are passive hemostats that stop bleeding by promoting the aggregation of platelets (at the surgical site), which is initiated by contact between blood and the collagen. These products are available in the forms of powder, paste or sponges. As they are derived from...
