Hemostatic Efficiency and Wound Healing Properties of Natural Zeolite Granules in a Lethal Rabbit Model of Complex Groin Injury

Abstract: Quikclot has been used many years for treating external hemorrhage in the battle field. In this study, the hemostatic performance of NZG-JY (natural zeolite granules from Jinyun, China) was evaluated and compared with Quikclot in a lethal rabbit model of complex groin injury. Fifty-six anesthetized rabbits were randomized to three different groups: (1) NZG-JY (n = 19); (2) Quikclot (n = 19); and (3) medical gauze (n = 18). Survival was recorded three hours after the application of the hemostatic agents. The wo… Show more

“…In the literature, there are numerous studies, which report temperature rise, and serious necrosis of tissue at the bleeding site due to exothermic reaction caused by alumina‐silicate‐based hemostatic agents . The data justified the obtained results.…”

“…Similarly, vascular leakage may also be prevented by this mechanical effect (29).It has been shown that wound healing is accelerated by clinoptilolite, due to its effects on cytokines. After the injury, cytokines activate complement formation, platelet aggregation, blood coagulation and hemostasis, as well as release of growth factors, neovascularization, granulation tissue formation, and finally wound healing occurs(30).…”

“…However, the interaction of this zeolite material with blood (aqueous medium) is substantially exothermic, resulting in sudden rise in local temperature, which was found to cause tissue damage and debilitation . In this aspect some research is being directed toward modulating the composition and structure of these zeolite minerals to retain its hemostatic property while reducing the exothermic side effects . In recent years, Quikclot has been used to modify the matrix of standard gauze and sponge used in US military, resulting in a technology named Quikclot combat gauze (QCG) or Quikclot‐advanced clotting sponge that is considered to reduce the exothermic side effect of the mineral because of coabsorption by the gauze .…”
