Ankaferd BloodStopper

Ankaferd BloodStopper (ABS) is a product claimed to have antihemorrhagic properties.[1] It is used in hospitals and ambulances in Turkey to stop bleeding occurring from external bodily injuries and operations.[2][3] It is the first Turkish medical product officially accredited by the Turkish Ministry of Health.[4]

Hüseyin Cahit Fırat, the developer of ABS, is a Turkish entrepreneur. He is not a doctor of medicine, as his background of study lies in economics, with some contributions in the fields of business and journalism.[5] Firat's interest in herbology led him to the discovery of ABS, which consists entirely of plant-based ingredients.[4]

The final product was attested and finished in the hematology faculty of Hacettepe University in Ankara.[6]

Features

ABS consists of 100% herbal ingredients and contains no synthetic additives.[7] It is made from five plants: Thymus vulgaris, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Vitis vinifera, Alpinia officinarum and Urtica dioica.
