A resorbable hemostatic agent comprising a delivery component, that aids in the delivery to the wound site, and a microfibrillar hemostatic component that controls bleeding in solid tissue and does not delay or interfere with healing is described. The viscosity of this resorbable hemostatic agent can be changed to allow for easy application at a range of temperatures. The resorbable hemostatic agent of the invention provides a biodegradable, biocompatable hemostatic agent which effectively controls bleeding in bone and other dense tissue without interfering with the subsequent healing of the tissue. |
