One of the key reasons for death is blood loss or hemorrhage from trauma or surgeries. Management of bleeding by utilizing suitable hemostatic agents is therefore important to diminish related complications and mortality. In recent years, the application of bioactive glasses for hemostasis has shown promising results in both in vitro and in vivo. In this chapter, we will highlight the mechanism of action of bioactive glasses in accelerating hemostasis, review various forms of bioactive glasses and their composites that have been assessed for potential application in promoting hemostasis and stopping bleeding, and briefly include future perspectives.
