Abstract
Sustaining hemostasis in clinical hemorrhages is a challenging task and requires extensive effort to stabilize medically hard-to-treat traumatic injuries. Several hemostatic agents are preferred to control external and internal bleedings, yet commercially available products are not sufficiently effective or fast-acting to achieve hemostasis in extreme cases. Anlcaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) is a herbal extract traditionally used as a hemostatic agent. Recent studies have shown that ABS could be utilized successfully as a hemostatic agent for the management of clinical hemorrhages when conventional methods were ineffective. This review serves as a basis to provide recent findings on several applications of ABS, specifically preclinical, biological, and clinical studies both in vitro and in vivo. Another section focuses on the ultrastructural morphology and protein network formation of ABS in an effort to understand the hemostatic mechanisms of this unique agent at tissue level.
