Hemostatic Agents
Mykito Chitosan is the purest Non-Animal chitosan in the world. This chitosan does not have the betaglucins, heavy metals and other contaminants that are commonly found in chitosan. The Mykito technology is robust, repeatable and produces consistent results.
Wound Hemostasis
Chitosan-based wound dressings can be of great benefit to control bleeding from wounds, especially for patients taking anticoagulants. This can be applied in both low-risk wounds and uncontrolled hemorrhage in emergency circumstances. Chitosan in dressings can encourage platelet adhesion and help activate the coagulation process to slow or stop bleeding quickly [Stricker-Krongrad,Sanjanwala,Wang].
Dental Hemostasis
Chitosan dressings can be useful peri-operatively as they induce platelet adhesion, aggregation, and blood coagulation. As it electrostatically interacts with proteins in the blood, this helps enhance bleeding control and clotting at wound sites and assists with the healing process [Keast].
Cardiovascular Procedures
Anticoagulants are a mainstay in treating heart attacks, but Chitosan may achieve similar effects without the same risks. The use of Chitosan implants may be able to utilize its anticoagulant properties to prevent blood clots from further forming while maintaining mechanical integrity [Acosta,Imran].
Hemostasis in Animals
Chitosan also interacts with various components of animals’ clotting process to help control bleeding. The application of Chitosan granules provides an effective means of reducing the volume of blood loss and quicker hemostasis [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera].
