Systems, devices, compositions, and methods for treating bleeding, for containing blood that has been lost by a subject due to bleeding, and for treating surfaces contaminated with blood or expected to be contaminated with blood are disclosed. The systems, devices, compositions, and methods utilize platelets, platelet-derived materials, or both. The invention includes sprayers, nebulizers, and equivalents, to deliver platelets and/or platelet-derived materials to desired surfaces. Exemplary embodiments include the use of a pressurized sprayer configured to deliver a topical administration of a lyophilized platelet and/or platelet-derived material to a surface.

Described herein are semisynthetic biopolymers comprising: a plurality of polyalkylene glycol chains, a protein, and an antioxidant; wherein the polyalkylene glycol chains are conjugated to the protein through a substituted succinimide linker. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are conjugated proteins referred to as “semisynthetic supra perfusion agents”, “semisynthetic hybrid biopolymers”, “semisynthetic supra plasma expanders”, or the like. In some embodiments, these compounds mimic the same physiological consequences of high viscosity supra plasma expanders without being highly viscous—i.e. having a viscosity greater than blood.

A method of treating radiation-induced skin toxicity or skin ulcers with nanoparticles after exposure to ionizing radiation and after an onset of radiation-induced skin toxicity or a radiation-induced skin ulcer by administering intravenously a suspension including fibrinogen-coated albumin nanospheres to a patient. A concentration of the suspension being sufficient to at least one of promote healing of the skin toxicity or reduce a size of the skin ulcer. The suspension can include fibrinogen-coated albumin nanospheres, sorbitol and/or caprylate. The suspension can be utilized for treating a patient to reduce an amount of blood loss in an organ of the patient or for treating a patient to mobilize stem cells or progenitor cells to accelerate healing of a wound.
