My friend and I went on a picnic. My friend injured his arm. Since we didn't bring any medical supplies, I, who has been working in the medical field for many years, pressed on his arm to stop the bleeding. Then we went to the only Chinese medicine clinic nearby. The doctor in the clinic saw us and said, "What's wrong?" I said, "I'm injured. Please bandage it." During the bandaging process, I saw them sprinkle some medicine powder. I asked him, "What is this?" He said it was hemostatic powder.
You may be unfamiliar with hemostatic powder. What are the functions of hemostatic powder? Let me explain it to you. 💡
● Accelerate the coagulation process: help platelets in the blood to aggregate and form blood clots, thereby reducing bleeding;
● Provide a physical barrier: form a protective layer at the wound to prevent bacterial invasion and reduce the risk of infection;
● Facilitate wound treatment: make the wound surface relatively dry, which is conducive to subsequent treatment and bandaging;
● Reduce pain: reduce wound pain to a certain extent and improve the patient's comfort;
● Assist wound healing: create conditions.
