Patent No.: US 10,124,084 B2
Date of the Patent Granted: Nov. 13, 2018
Title of the Patent: READY TO USE BIODEGRADABLE AND BIOCOMPATIBLE DEVICE AND A METHOD OF PREPARATION THEREOF
Background of the Invention:
Haemostatic products are the agents which promote haemostasis (stop bleeding). These can be used for both surgical or traumatic wounds. Heavy blood loss from the wounds may result in a hypovolemic shock (when the body loses one-fifth of its blood and heart is not able to pump sufficient amount of blood to the body) leading to tissue and organ damage.
