Reply to comment by Joeclu in Drawing inspiration from nature, researchers developed a medical adhesives that stops blood loss and promotes blood coagulation. The adhesive can also be removed without causing re-bleeding or even left inside the body to be absorbed by giuliomagnifico
Sounds like the adhesive is a porous gel designed to let the liquid part of blood through while keeping the clotting agents and other solids in place. So, it ought to allow normal clotting behaviour in situations where blood loss would otherwise be too fast to allow clots to form. If the adhesive is removed after the clot has formed ... there's still a clot there.
