coagulators
Blood clumping substances
Coagulators are agents or devices that cause coagulation—the process by which liquid thickens into a solid or semisolid mass.
Blood coagulators help stop bleeding; chemical coagulators in water treatment cause particles to clump together for removal.
The surgeon used an electrosurgical coagulator to seal the blood vessels.
