a Schematic diagram demonstrating the pro-coagulant mechanism of the alkylated-spCS (A-spCS). b SEM images showing the adhesion of red blood cells on gauze, gelatin sponge (GS), CELOX, CELOX-E, chitosan sponge (CS), porous chitosan sponge (pCS), superporous chitosan sponge (spCS), and A-spCS. c 10 min Blood Clotting Index (BCI) values of hemostatic materials. d, e Percentage of red blood cells and platelets adhered on different hemostatic materials. Values and error bars in (c−e) represent the mean and standard deviation (n  =  3 independent samples), P > 0.05 (ns), **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 (one-way ANOVA to compare multiple groups or two groups).
