Abstract

Collagen and chitosan based devices have been used separately for both hemostasis and wound healing for decades. We investigated developing devices combining both materials that would be useful for hemostasis or wound healing, or both, especially as wound healing is often considered the first phase of wound healing. In-vitro and in-vivo testing of the combined collagen and chitosan derived devices demonstrated the devices had promising hemostatic and wound healing effectiveness compared to the individual materials alone.
