Engineered Blood Clots Stop Severe Bleeding in Seconds Using Synthetic Particles

Engineered blood clots using synthetic particles stop severe bleeding in seconds; lab and animal tests show faster, stronger, adhesive clots, potential for emergency and surgical hemostasis.

Engineered blood clots made with synthetic particles can stop severe bleeding in seconds and are far stronger and stickier than natural clots, researchers say.

Researchers at McGill University and collaborators describe a method called "click clotting" that chemically links proteins on red blood cell surfaces to produce an engineered blood clot (EBC) that forms within seconds and resists breaking under stress far better than normal clots.
