resumo
Conventional surgical closure techniques, such as sutures, clips, or skin closure strips, may not always provide optimal wound closure and may require invasive procedures, which can result in potential post-surgical complications. As result, there is a growing demand for innovative solutions to achieve superior wound closure and improve patient outcomes. To overcome the abovementioned issues, in situ generated hemostatic adhesives/ sealants have emerged as a promising alternative, offering a targeted, controllable, and minimally invasive procedure for a wide variety of medical applications. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of action and recent advances of in situ generated hemostatic adhesives, particularly protein-based, thermoresponsive, bioinspired, and photocrosslinkable formulations, as well as the design chal-lenges that must be addressed. Overall, this review aims to enhance a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements of in situ generated hemostatic adhesives and their mechanisms of action, with the objective of promoting further research in this field.
