Abstract
A hemostatic composition for effecting hemostasis at a hemorrhaging site comprises a hemostatically effective amount of cationic substance and a base, wherein the base is in a form of an ointment, a cream, a gel, a foam or a paste, and wherein the cationic substance is substantially uniformly dispersed in the base. The method of preparing the hemostatic composition includes admixing an aqueous solution of a cationic substance and the base, and freeze-drying the mixture to remove substantially all of the water to yield a viscous water soluble composition of fine particles of cationic which is substantially uniformly dispersed throughout the base, and the method of its use to provide hemostasis to a hemorrhaging site of a mammal.
Claims35
A hemostatic composition comprising:
- a hemostatically effective amount of hemostatic cationic substance;
- and
- a base, wherein said hemostatic cationic substance is substantially uniformly dispersed in said base, and wherein said base is in a form selected from the group consisting of an ointment, a cream, a gel, a foam, and a paste.
A method for making a hemostatic composition comprising:
- mixing a hemostatically effective amount of hemostatic cationic substance and a base, wherein said base is in a form selected from the group consisting of an ointment, a cream, a gel, a foam, and a paste.
A method for effecting hemostatic composition at a hemorrhaging site in a mammal comprising:
- A). forming a hemostatic composition by mixing a hemostatically effective amount of hemostatic cationic substances and a base, wherein said base is in a form selected from the group consisting of an ointment, a cream, a gel, a foam, and a paste;
- and
- B). applying a hemostatically effective amount of said hemostatic composition to the hemorrhaging site of the mammal.
