- accelerates the blood clotting process by activating factors XII and VIII of the coagulation cascade, leading rapidly (2-6 minutes) to the formation of the fibrin mesh and the consolidation of the clot.
Uses
Intermediate used in the preparation of haemostatic products (surgery and dentistry) and as a tissue repair adjuvant in the treatment of wounds, sores, ulcers and burns (dermatology and geriatrics).
