The main active ingredient is poly-N-acetyl-1,4-β-D-glucosamine, more known as chitosan, which has a unique complex of characteristics:
- Hemostatic and antibacterial effect
- High biocompatibility
- Ability to biodegradation
- Hypoallergenic properties
- Absence of toxicity
The hemostatic effect of Hemoflex® is achieved through the interaction of the positively charged surface of chitosan with negatively charged membranes of blood cells, which leads to a local concentration of the cellular components of the blood and the formation of a blood clot. Hemoflex® does not contain any medicines, components of the blood coagulation cascade, and proteins of animal origin.
