Abstract:
Provided herein are hemostatic compositions. In one embodiment, the hemostatic composition includes cross-linked polymer microspheres, such as cross-linked gelatin microspheres with pores. In another embodiment, the hemostatic composition comprises an additive such as a wetting agent, a suspending agent, or both. The hemostatic compositions may also include a hemostatic agent such as thrombin, and may include a high concentration of thrombin. The hemostatic compositions may also include plasma. Also provided herein are devices for dispersing said hemostatic compositions in a diluent, and delivering said dispersed hemostatic composition. The hemostatic compositions may also fabricated with a selected geometry as administration suggests.
