Bletilla striata Micron Particles Function as a Hemostatic Agent by Promoting Rapid Blood Aggregation

Figure 5

The hemostatic effect of the BSMPs evaluated by the rat tail amputation model. (a) A segment of each rat tail was amputated transversely, and the cut ends were immediately immersed in the BSMPs. (b) Photograph of tail amputation after short-term BSMP application (350–250, 250–180, 180–125, 125–75, and <75 μm) showing that bleeding has stopped and 10 min application of gauze showing continued bleeding. (c) Time to hemostasis for the same injury models ( for each group, ).
