Yes, there are some hemostatic agents, but none as easy to use, as quick and efficient as AC5.
This section is where AC5 fits in -
The existing defects of current topical hemostats and the need for further improvements make their use limited to relatively low efficacy conditions, and prevent their application in more extensive situations (5). In fact, at present time, the ideal dressing has not been discovered, and no single hemostatic agent is likely to be superior in every clinical condition. Therefore, there is still the need for the continued refinement of the composition and formation of such dressings. In addition, current hemostats are mostly only available for use in developed countries. These types of products, which can be life-saving in both combat situations and events occurring in everyday life, need to be made available to, or produced in developing parts of the world.
