description Developing a self-elastic sponge integrating active and passive hemostatic mechanisms for the effective management of uncontrolled coagulopathic hemorrhage remains a challenge. We here developed a chitosan-based sponge by integrating freeze-drying, chemical decoration of alkyl chains and phosphate groups, and physical loading of thrombin. The sponge exhibited high mechanical strength, self-elasticity, and rapid shape recovery. The sponge facilitated blood cell adhesion, aggregation, and activation through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, as well as accelerated blood clotting. The sponge exhibited higher efficacy than commercial gauze and gelatin sponge in managing uncontrolled hemorrhage from heparinized rat tail amputation, liver superficial injury, and liver perforating wound models. In addition, the sponge exhibited favorable biodegradability and biocompatibility. These findings revealed that the developed sponge holds great potential as a novel hemostat for effectively managing uncontrolled coagulopathic hemorrhage from superficial and perforating wounds.
