Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The method of achieving hemostasis, inhibiting fibroplasia, and promoting tissue regeneration is described wherein a chitosan solution, or chitosan in various solid forms is placed in contact with the tissue wound. The chitosan forms a coagulum which prevents bleeding and negates the formation of a blood clot thereby preventing the formation of fibrin strands. The prevention of the formation of fibrin strands prevents the proliferation of fibroblasts and the synthesis of collagen thereby allowing the promotion of normal tissue regeneration. The process described hereinabove results in wound healing with minimal scar formation.
