Excessive blood loss due to trauma or major surgical intervention can be life threatening which necessitates rapid hemorrhage management for the prevention of such bleeding related sufferings. Broad interest in developing new hemostatic technologies have been paid for bleeding control but none of them found completely satisfactory especially in terms of rapid clotting, absorbability, porosity, cost effectiveness and safety. To address these issues, a combination of active and passive hemostatic materials from biological sources could be a wise choice. Therefore, plant-derived TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose (TOCN)/biopolymer gelatin (G) sponge was successfully prepared in co-operation with intrinsic blood coagulation enzyme thrombin (Th)  via  freeze drying method and their application as rapid hemostatic dressing was investigated. Morphological and  in vitro  characteristics of the samples were evaluated where uniformity, porosity, swelling, degradation behavior had direct relationship with the percent gelatin incorporation.  In vitro  hemocompatibility and cyto-compatibility of these sponges were confirmed as well. Among the samples, TOCN 2.5G-Th sponge exhibited excellent hemostatic effect, rapid absorbability, minimum clotting time (1.37 ± 0.152 min) and reduction of blood loss was ensured through rat liver punch biopsy model. The results demonstrated that, Th enhanced blood coagulation, platelet and red blood cell aggregation following application of biopolymer TOCN 2.5G-Th sponge compared with samples devoid of Th. In short, the functional, cost effective and nontoxic sponge developed  via  facile preparation could potentially be used as an absorbable biomaterial to achieve immediate hemostasis.HighlightsPlant-derived TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose (TOCN) and biopolymer gelatin (G) was successfully used to prepare a hemostatic sponge in combination with intrinsic blood coagulation enzyme thrombin (Th).The TG sponge combines the advantages of TOCN and gelatin, exhibiting biocompatibility, biodegradability and superior blood-absorption performance.The TOCN 2.5G-Th sponge improves plasma absorption, red blood cell adhesion, aggregation, platelet adhesion and activation leading to enhanced hemostasis effect and shorter hemostasis time  in vitro  and  in vivo Plant-derived TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose (TOCN) and biopolymer gelatin (G) was successfully used to prepare a hemostatic sponge in combination with intrinsic blood coagulation enzyme thrombin (Th).
