Abstract:
Hemostatic microparticles (HMs) have been widely used in surgery. To improve the comprehensive performance of HMs, multifunctional HMs named HM15 and HM15 ' are prepared from starch, carboxymethyl chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and tannic acid. Herein, tannic acid is used as an effective cross-linker. A 3D network structure for cell growth and wound repair can be formed by secondary cross-linking. Through synergistic effect of these natural materials, the process of wound healing can be regulated controllably. HM15 and HM15 ' have the ability of rapid hemostasis. Moreover, HM15 ' shows excellent properties in antibacteria and wound healing acceleration. Blood clotting time treated with different HMs is shortened obviously from 436.8 s to 126 s. Compared with Celox, HM15 and HM15 ' exhibited better broad spectrum antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Notably, the wound can be repaired rapidly by HM15 ' in 14 days. These multifunctional HMs might have an important prospect in clinical application.
