Ficin-Modified Chitosan Hydrogels: In Vitro Hemocompatibility and Hemostatic Performance
Bleeding remains a leading cause of death in trauma and surgery, which drives the search for effective local hemostatic materials. Chitosan is a promising candidate because of its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and intrinsic hemostatic activity, yet chitosan hydrogels remain poorly characterized in terms of hemoco...
