HEMOSTATIC ARTICLE, AND METHOD FOR TREATING A WOUND IN A MAMMALIAN ANIMAL. The present invention utilizes a combination of porous carrier and an adsorbent such as a molecular sieve or an inorganic material selected from the group consisting of diatomaceous earth, glass fibers or powders, precipitated or pyrogenated silica, kaolin and montmorillonite clays, and substituted permutites. Ca, to produce a more effective hemostatic device for treating injuries to mammalian animals. These hemostatic devices provide a lower heat rise to the skin compared to direct application of zeolites to the skin. |
