A hemostatic agent composition, delivery system and method include a hemostatic agent composition which is inert and non-reactive relative to blood clotting proteins and platelets. The composition includes a clay material combined with a humectant in a stable suspension embedded in a mesh fabric and, when dried, is capable of accelerating the formation of a stable clot when applied to an actively bleeding wound or drying other bodily fluids.

Abstract:
A hemostatic agent delivery system includes a hemostatic agent which is inert and non-reactive yet is capable of forming a stable clot when applied to an actively bleeding wound. The system also includes a delivery assembly to structure to facilitate delivery of the hemostatic agent proximate the hemorrhage site. More specifically, the delivery assembly is structured to releasably contain the hemostatic agent via a release member which is disposed in cooperative relation with a support member which contains the amount of the hemostatic agent. The release member is structured of a soluble material such that it will at least partially dissolve and release the hemostatic agent upon disposition proximate the hemorrhage site. The delivery assembly further comprises a handle member structured to facilitate delivery of the hemostatic agent to the hemorrhage site.
