Wounds involving minor lesions such as cuts, excoriations, burns, scalds and various kinds of open efflorescence require rapid covering to arrest bleeding, to disinfect the wound area and to suppress secondary microbial contamination. The present invention is a hemostatically active aerosol composition comprised of microdispersed polyanhydroglucuronic acid and salts thereof and from 0.75 to 0.995 parts by weight of a dispergating/propellant system. The system includes compounds which are nonpolar or of low polarity with a surface tension of less than 30 mN/M and a permitivity of 10 kilohertz of less than 10 and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated or perfluorinated alkane, a C.sub.3 to C.sub.8 cycloalkane and a fluorinated or perfluorinated aliphatic ether. Such an invention provides a product for use as a sterile absorbable local hemostatic for both the layman and the professional public, enabling easy and rapid application in common wounds with minimal detriment to the environment.
