Death from massive hemorrhage represents a global problem. It is a challenging task to design hemostatic materials with significant efficacy, good biocompatibility, reliable safety, and high stability. In this study, we demonstrate an effective bio-inorganic hybrid hemostat fabricated by stepwise procedures of on-site growth of zeolite gauze and immobilization of trypsin on the zeolite gauze. The as-synthesized hybrid hemostat catalyzes the transition of prothrombin-to-thrombin and exhibits excellent procoagulant performance in the both normal plasma and FX-deficient plasma. The hemostatic treatment of junctional femoral artery rupture in the porcine model confirms that this hybrid hemostat manifests itself with superior hemostatic performance over commercial hemostatic dressings, in terms of a reduced time to hemostasis and blood loss. The stability of the hybrid hemostat is validated through high temperature and violent shaking evaluation. This bio-inorganic hybrid hemostat displays high procoagulant activity, low cytotoxicity, and extended shelf life which may achieve the "Platinum Ten Minutes" rescue in battlefield and traffic accident medicine.
