NCIt synonyms : AMP Hemostatic Powder; AMP; Endo-Clot;
NCIt definition : A hemostatic powder composed of hydrophilic, absorbable modified polymers (AMPs) derived
from plant starch, with potential anti-hemorrhagic activity. Upon local administration
of the AMP hemostatic powder directly sprayed over the bleeding surface, this powder
adheres to the bleeding area, and the AMPs are able to absorb fluid and therefore
soak up blood at the bleeding site. This leads to the formation of a gelled matrix
that seals the affected site, and allows platelets, red blood cells and clotting factors
in the blood to concentrate at the wound. In turn, this promotes the coagulation cascade,
helps to stop or control bleeding, and prevents further blood loss. The AMP particles
are naturally degraded by human enzymes over time.;
