Hemostatic agents are used to control bleeding. A process that involves curbing the blood flow or bleeding through a blood vessel, or hemorrhage is called hemostasis. Hemostatic agents aid in hemostasis, by forming a clot at the injured area, thereby repairing the blood vessel. Primary hemostasis, secondary hemostasis, and fibrinolysis are some of the types of the hemostasis. Hemostatic agents are deployed to stem blood flow by promoting clotting, thereby enhancing the hemostasis through the coagulation process. These agents boost hemostasis by progressing primary hemostasis, increasing fibrin formation, or inhibiting fibrinolysis. Hemostatic agents play a pivotal role in curbing of bleeding or treating serious bleeds, thereby validating their usage in diverse therapeutic areas. They are not only used in hospital settings but also in military, clinics and home care settings.
