Hemostatic materials are essential for controlling massive blood loss in disasters and emergencies. Beyond their primary function of rapid hemostasis, these materials must also provide additional functions to meet practical application requirements in various scenarios. These functions include effective positioning at the bleeding site, resistance to high blood pressure and wound movement, easy removal after hemostasis, and sustained action as a dressing (e.g., antibacterial, antiadhesion, tissue repair). Traditional hemostatic materials often lack these capabilities, prompting research into strategies for material modification. Positioning hemostatic materials at the bleeding site is critical, especially for noncompressible bleeding. Wet adhesion, self-pumping, magnetic field driving, mechanical interlocking, and specific targeting are key strategies. Wet adhesion is enhanced by structures like mussel foot proteins and polydopamine. Self-pumping and magnetic field driving enable materials to reach bleeding sites in complex wounds. Mechanical interlocking improves adhesion without additional pressure. Specific targeting involves intravenous delivery to control internal bleeding. Stability of the material structure is crucial for withstanding internal and external pressures. Strategies include increasing crosslinking, combining nanoparticles, photoinitiated polymerization, and other reinforcement methods. These approaches enhance mechanical strength and prevent structural disruption. Easy removal or degradation after hemostasis is important to avoid secondary injury. Methods include breaking chemical bonds, using temperature triggers, and designing materials for different removal periods. Reducing interaction with blood clots prevents tearing and rebleeding. Rapid self-degradation allows materials to be removed without affecting wound healing. Sustained action at the injury site involves antibacterial, antiadhesion, and tissue repair functions. Materials must support wound healing while minimizing adhesion to surrounding tissues. These improvements aim to enhance the effectiveness of hemostatic materials in emergency situations, ensuring rapid and effective treatment.Hemostatic materials are essential for controlling massive blood loss in disasters and emergencies.
