Popis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of non-thermal plasma treatment on the biological properties of a natural hemostatic agent. The results show that plasma treatment can enhance the biodegradability property of the hemostatic agent by increasing the degradation rate of the specimen up to 94.26% within 7 days. Furthermore, the plasma-treated specimen also exhibited good biocompatibility based on the cell viability test of the fibroblast cells. The cell growth and cell proliferation on this sample were found to be helpful for the wound healing process. With appropriate degradable and biocompatible properties, this modified agent could be beneficial for better control over bleeding during surgery. Research on the physical and mechanical properties are on to develop novel hemostatic products to match the requirements as far as biomedical applications are concerned.
