Abstract
A hemostatic composition for effecting hemostasis at a hemorrhaging site comprises a hemostatically effective amount of cationic substance and a wax base, wherein the cationic substance is substantially uniformly dispersed in the bone wax base. The method of preparing the hemostatic composition includes admixing an aqueous solution of a cationic substance and a bone wax, 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 bone wax base. The method for effecting hemostasis comprises making the hemostatic composition and applying a hemostatically effective amount of the hemostatic composition to the hemorrhaging site.
Claims38
A hemostatic composition comprising:
- a hemostatically effective amount of hemostatic cationic substance;
- and
- a base in a form of wax, and wherein said hemostatic cationic substance is substantially uniformly dispersed in said base.
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 of wax.
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 substance and a base, wherein said base is in form of wax;
- and
- B). applying a hemostatic effective amount of said hemostatic composition to the hemorrhaging site of the mammal.
