The present invention relates to a material comprising a blend of glass fibers and at least one second fiber, wherein said second fiber is a silk fiber; Ceramic fibers; Bamboo raw fiber or recycled fiber; Cotton fiber; Rayon fibers; Linen fibers; Ramie fibers; Jute fibers; Sisal fibers; Flax fiber; Soybean fiber; Corn fiber; Hemp fiber; Lyocell fibers; mother; Lactide and / or glycolide polymers; Lactide / glycolide copolymers; Silicate fibers; Polyamide fibers; Feldspar fibers; Zeolite fibers; Zeolite-containing fibers; Acetate fibers; And combinations thereof, wherein the hemostatic fabric is capable of activating an in-vivo hemostatic system upon application to a wound. Additional cofactors such as thrombin and hemostatic agents such as RL platelets, RL blood cells, fibrin, fibrinogen and combinations thereof may also be incorporated into the fabric. The present invention also provides methods of making such fabrics and methods of using the fabrics to inhibit bleeding (see Figure 1).n n n n Fiberglass, thrombin, hemostatic |
