A topical hemostat refers to products used to promote hemostasis, a process of stopping bleeding. It is applied directly to a wound or surgical site to prevent excessive blood loss and to encourage clot formation. Topical hemostats are used in various medical situations, from emergency settings and surgical procedures to managing chronic wounds. Topical hemostats contain active substances that accelerate the body's natural clotting process or provide a physical barrier to assist with blood containment. A global rise in surgeries due to an aging population and the elevating incidences of chronic diseases is driving the market. However, the high cost of advanced hemostats and potential complications associated with using certain hemostatic agents can restrict their application and limit their accessibility. Nevertheless, the development of synthetic and bioactive materials that can mimic natural hemostasis and the utilization of nanotechnology in developing advanced hemostatic agents are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the topical hemostat market.
