A hemostatic tissue sealant sponge and a spray for acute wounds are disclosed. The sponge comprises hydrophobically modified polymers that anchor themselves within the membrane of cells in the vicinity of the wound. The seal is strong enough to substantially prevent the loss of blood inside the boundaries of the sponge, yet weak enough to substantially prevent damage to newly formed tissue upon recovery and subsequent removal of the sponge. In examples, the polymers inherently prevent microbial infections and are suitable for oxygen transfer required during normal wound metabolism. The spray comprises hydrophobically modified polymers that form solid gel networks with blood cells to create a physical clotting mechanism to prevent loss of blood. In an example, the spray further comprises at least one reagent that increases the mechanical integrity of the clot. In another example, the reagent prevents microbial infection of the wound.
本发明公开了一种止血组织密封剂海绵和一种用于急性伤口的喷雾剂。该海绵由疏
水改性聚合物组成,可将自身锚定在伤口附近的细胞膜内。这种密封性足够强,可基本防止海绵边界内的血液流失,但又足够弱,可基本防止在恢复和随后移除海绵时对新形成的组织造成损害。举例来说,聚合物本身可防止微
生物感染,并适用于正常伤口新陈代谢过程中所需的
氧气传输。喷雾剂包括疏
水性改性聚合物,可与血细胞形成固体凝胶网络,形成物理凝结机制,防止血液流失。在一个例子中,喷雾剂还包括至少一种试剂,可增加凝块的机械完整性。在另一个例子中,试剂可防止伤口受到微
