Explanation

Hemostatic refers to the process that stops bleeding. When a person gets a cut or wound, the body naturally starts this process to prevent too much blood loss. It involves blood changing from a liquid to a gel-like state, forming a clot that plugs the wound. Hemostatic can also refer to medicines or medical devices that help this process along, especially for larger wounds or in surgery.
