Methods, systems, and apparatuses for nanomaterial-enhanced hemostatic medical devices are provided. Hemostatic materials and structures are provided that induce coagulation of blood at a wound/opening caused by trauma, a surgical procedure, ulceration, or other cause. The hemostatic materials and structures may incorporate nanostructures and/or further hemostatic elements such as polymers and/orglass beads. The hemostatic materials and structures may be resorbable. Example embodiments include hemostatic bandages, hemostatic plugs, and hemostatic formulations. |
