The tragacanth gum significantly enhances the mechanical properties of fish collagen sponge for hemostatic applications, leading to better performance.
Key enhancements were observed in tensile strength and elasticity, indicating a robust material for medical uses.
This analysis involved altering the composition of collagen sponges with tragacanth gum to evaluate the resulting physical and mechanical properties.
The findings may enable improved designs for hemostatic dressings, though further validation is needed to confirm effectiveness in clinical settings.
