A group of scientists from Moscow and Ryazan Medical University (RyazGMU) has developed a «ComboSpas» based on a modification of hyaluronic acid, which stops blood (hemostatic) in 10-15 seconds.
Hemostatic absorbs water in blood plasma and triggers the coagulation process. The agent also has an antiseptic effect. «ComboSpas» can be used in medical institutions and in the field, for example, in the treatment of wounds.
The development of Russian scientists is distinguished by high adhesive properties. Due to this, «ComboSpas» literally sticks to the wound. RyazGMU believes that the agent has great potential for use in surgery.
Standard hemostatics stop blood in 2.5 minutes. «ComboSpas», which works more than 10 times faster, has proven its effectiveness in primary trials. The researchers have already filed a patent for the drug.
