Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A hemostatic article prepared by a method comprising modifying one of the group consisting of a collagen substance or collagen-like substance by dissolving the substance in water and modifying the thereby dissolved substance to render the surface charge thereof effectively more positive than prior to modification whereby to provide augmented hemostatic properties thereto and freezing and drying the thereby modified substance in a porous body, said porous body having a normal structural strength and composition which is modified by said modified substance, the modified substance being blood-soluble such that upon subjecting the thereby modified substance in the porous body to blood, the modified substance goes into solution therein; the supporting body being so constructed and arranged that it resumes its normal strength and composition after the modified substance has gone into solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
