Investigation of the effectiveness of algan hemostatic agent in bleeding control using an experimental partial splenectomy model in rats

Abstract

Objective: Algan hemostatic agent (AHA) is a plant-based
hemostatic agent produced in Turkey. Although, there is a great
improvement in the hemostatic technologies, more effective
hemostatic products are required to be produced. The aim of
this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of AHA in a partial
splenectomy model in rats. In addition, in this model, postoperative
abdominal adhesion was evaluated.
Materials and Methods: In this study 5-7 weeks old 64
rats were used. Rats were randomly divided into 8 groups, each
consisting of eight rats (4 groups heparinized and 4 groups nonheparinized).
Experimental splenectomy was performed and the
gauze impregnated with saline was applied to the control group for
the hemorrhage control, the gauze impregnated with liquid AHA,
gel and powder form of AHA, was applied to the experimental
groups.
Results: The time to reach complete homeostasis was
significantly shorter in all AHA groups compared to the control
group. The powder and the gel forms of AHA stopped the bleeding
in heparinized and non-heparinized groups in 1 second. The AHA
fluid (sponge) form stopped the bleeding in the first application
in the control group less than 10 seconds and the second time
application was not necessary. The bleeding was able to be
controlled in the heparinized control group (saline impregnated
sponge) by 55 seconds and in the non-heparinized control group
by 38 seconds.
Conclusion: This study showed that AHA is a highly effective
hemostatic agent, which would be beneficial in controlling
hemorrhage.
