A SEM images showing the platelet activation and adhesion on the materials of DPP, EDPP, and gelatin sponge. B Zeta potential of DPP, EDPP, and gelatin sponge. C, D Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) and analysis of DPP, EDPP, and gelatin sponge (n = 3). E SEM images showing the formation of fibrin on the materials of DPP, EDPP, and gelatin sponge. F Schematic diagram of the mechanism of EDPP promoting blood coagulation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (n = 3–4).
