​​​​      Our​ invention ChitO2-Clot is a novel hemostatic & oxygen releasing biomaterial. ChitO2-Clot will help facilitate coagulation/clot formation as well as provide oxygen to the wound, all while being cost effective and competitive with current hemostatic dressings. The added advantage of ChitO2-Clot is that it is not removed; it is completely reabsorbed by the body. ChitO2-Clot is naturally microbicidal without the use of antibiotics and is highly effective against MRSA.
