Abstract

A hemostatic composition is provided. The hemostatic composition includes a hemostatically effective amount of a hemostatic agent that includes a nanoparticle and a polyphosphate polymer attached to the nanoparticle. Also provided are medical devices and methods of use to promote blood clotting.

Claims (14)

1. A method of treating a subject for a wound, the method comprising:

administering a hemostatic agent to the subject, wherein the hemostatic agent comprises:

a magnetic nanoparticle; and

a polyphosphate polymer attached to the magnetic nanoparticle; and

magnetically tracking the movement of the magnetic nanoparticle of the hemostatic agent to the wound.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tracking comprises imaging the hemostatic composition.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the imaging comprises imaging the magnetic nanoparticle.

4. The method of claim 2 or 3 , wherein the hemostatic agent further comprises a dye precursor that is convertable to a fluorescent dye by a coagulation factor, wherein the tracking comprises measuring fluorescence by the fluorescent dye at the wound.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the coagulation factor is thrombin.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic nanoparticle comprises a silver core.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic nanoparticle comprises a silica shell.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic nanoparticle comprises a material selected from the group consisting of iron oxide, diatomaceous earth, an aluminosilicate, an oxide of a transition metal, and titanium dioxide.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hemostatic agent further comprises a protecting agent attached to the magnetic nanoparticle.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the protecting agent comprises polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polypropylene glycol, or a combination thereof.
