a Schematic illustration of the hemostatic process using CPB in a rat liver perforation wound model. b Images of the hemostatic effect on damaged livers in the blank group and the CPB group. Yellow dotted line: position of the wound or CPB. c Bloodstain on the surface of filter paper in the blank group and the CPB group at 120 s. d Total blood loss in the blank group and the CPB group. e Images of the hemostatic effect of CPB in a rat dynamic heart perforation wound model. Yellow dotted line: the position of the wound or the CPB. f Schematic illustration of CPB as a physical activity monitor and the adhesion of the CPB monitor on a nude mouse. g Potentials of the nude mouse from under anesthetic to wake up state. Values in (e) represent the mean and standard deviation (n = 3 independent samples). Statistical analyses were performed by using two-tailed Student’s t-test. No adjustments were made for multiple comparisons. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant differences between the compared groups.
