Fig. 5: Hemostatic performance of gauzes on the rat femoral artery injury.

a From left to right: gauze was put on the bleeding rat femoral artery injury, gauze was removed from the wound after hemostatic state was reached; The stacked four gauze layers were unfolded. “1” was the layer directly contacted with the wound, “4” was the outmost layer. b Hemostatic time, and c total blood loss in the rat femoral artery model. d Enlarged photo of rat femoral artery injury after hemostasis. This photo was taken right after the gauze was removed. Data in b and c are shown as mean ± SD, n = 6, error bars represent SD. Source data for b and c are provided as a Source Data file. **P < 0.01, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
