None:
We propose a composition of a local hemostatic and wound-healing agent in a liquid dosage form, a water-glycerol colloidal suspension containing active substances (silicon and iron glycerolates and chitosan) and an auxiliary substance polyvinylpyrrolidone. The agent is nontoxic and exhibits high hemostatic activity (that was practically the same at different contents of iron (III) monoglycerolate (0.40 and 0.80 wt%)) and pronounced wound-healing properties.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...
Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
