Applying direct pressure to a bleeding site to control bleeding; often employed as the first line of action in both surgical and first aid settings.

Uses electrical current to heat tissue, leading to coagulation and cessation of bleeding; commonly used in surgical settings.

A constricting band applied around a limb to control blood flow and minimize bleeding; typically employed in limb surgeries or trauma cases.

The surgical tying off of blood vessels to prevent bleeding; used in situations where vessels are easily accessible or have been severed.

Stitching combined with topical agents that promote blood clotting; used in surgeries requiring both closure and enhanced clotting at the site.

Clamps specifically designed to control bleeding by compressing blood vessels; often used during surgery to maintain a bloodless field.

A technique using argon gas and electrical current to achieve hemostasis; often used in liver and spleen surgeries due to less penetration depth.

Dressings impregnated with substances that accelerate coagulation; used in pre-hospital and combat settings to control severe bleeding.

Devices that use heat and pressure to simultaneously cut and seal blood vessels; often used in minimally invasive surgeries.

Glues based on fibrinogen and thrombin that mimic the final steps of the clotting cascade; employed in surgeries to reinforce sutures or in place of sutures.

A wax used to stop bleeding from bone surfaces by physically blocking the holes of bleeding bone; mainly used in orthopedic and neurosurgeries.

A topical enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin, aiding in clot formation; applied directly to bleeding tissues in various surgical procedures.

A technique using laser energy to coagulate and seal blood vessels; frequently used in ophthalmic surgeries and to treat varicose veins.

The use of extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue; hemostasis is achieved as the freezing process seals capillaries.

Rapidly polymerizing adhesives used to close wounds and achieve hemostasis without conventional sutures; used in superficial lacerations and minimally invasive surgeries.

A technique using ultrasound energy to cause protein denaturation and vessel coagulation; employed in procedures like laparoscopic surgeries.

The intentional blockage of a blood vessel using materials introduced through a catheter; used to control bleeding in trauma and certain surgical situations.

A procedure involving banding of varices using an endoscope to prevent bleeding; primarily employed in patients with esophageal varices.

A dressing applied tightly to apply pressure and control bleeding, often in conjunction with a hemostatic agent; used for traumatic wounds and after certain surgeries.

Forceps designed to grasp and exert pressure on blood vessels to achieve hemostasis; commonly used in surgeries to control bleeding till vessels can be tied or sealed.

Sponges or foams impregnated with hemostatic agents that can be applied to bleeding surfaces; particularly useful for oozing surface bleeds or as an adjunct in surgery.

A plant-based product that promotes hemostasis through molecular interactions with blood; often used in surgical settings when suturing is impractical.

A preventative technique using inflatable devices to improve venous circulation and prevent stasis; used post-operatively, particularly in limb surgeries.

Applying hand pressure over a blood vessel to temporarily control bleeding; frequently utilized during vascular access procedures or after catheter removal.
