Expandable Nanocomposite Shape‐Memory Hemostat for the Treatment of Noncompressible Hemorrhage (Adv. Sci. 23/2026)

Expandable Nanocomposite Shape-Memory Hemostat The cover image illustrates a nanocomposite-coated shape-memory foam that rapidly expands upon exposure to physiological temperature and fluids, conformally filling irregular wound cavities to form a porous hemostatic scaffold. Surface modification with procoagulant nanocomposites enhances tissue adhesion and accelerates clot formation. Together, the shape-recovering architecture and bioactive coating highlight a multifunctional injectable platform for fast and effective control of deep, noncompressible hemorrhage.
