I want to understand more on the hemocompatibility tests for hydrogels especially those that are made for wound dressings. I also want to know if they should be more attractive to clotting factors such as platelet, fibrinogen, etc. or not.

Given the hemostatic and non-hemostatic functions of platelets, I think attracting them to the dressing would be an important positive
