Nanotechnology With Thrombin to Stop Internal Bleeding Faster

A way to effectively stop internal bleeding by magnetically-driven nanoparticles containing thrombin has been found by recent research. A drug based on these nanoparticles can be injected intravenously and delivered straight to the site of a vascular injury. It can accelerate local clot formation and reduce overall blood loss by fifteen times. The nanoparticles are not toxic to humans and can potentially be used for safe treatment.
