Abstract: By placing a blood plasma in contact with a blood coagulation contact phase activator, before or during preparation of a fibrinogen-based biological glue, a preactivated biological glue is obtained which does not coagulate spontaneously but which is capable of coagulating in less than 5 minutes simply by the addition of calcium ions, without the addition of thrombin. The process has application to the field of surgery.

Abstract: A method for treating a living organism includes fitting in the living organism a bioabsorbable implant. The bioabsorbable implant includes a support of porous calcium carbonate based material for supporting at least one growth factor. The calcium carbonate based support material forms an external wall of the support.
Abstract: A method of treating a living organism having a disease associated with demineralization or mineralization defects of an existing bone by applying in a spongy portion of the bone or in a medullary canal of the bone at least one biocompatible and bioabsorbable calcium salt in the form of particles having dimensions less than 8 mm. The biocompatible and bioabsorbable calcium salt is an active ingredient for reinitiating bone remineralization and reconstruction of resorbed bone spans and increases bone density and bone mass.
Abstract: A method for preparing platelet factors features a liquid that contains a suspension of thrombocytes being passed over a filter capable of retaining the thrombocytes. Thrombocytes are activated by an activating solution that is administered to the thrombocytes retained on the filter. A filtrate containing platelet factors in solution is separated by filtration while the thrombocytes are retained on the filter.
Abstract: A method for the preparation of a platelet factor-enriched biological adhesive comprising freezing a platelet-enriched plasma and isolating a cryoprecipinate from the frozen platelet-enriched plasma is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for biological adhesion employing the prepared biological adhesive.

Abstract: A three-dimensional solid support for the in vitro cultivation of cells consists essentially of porous polycrystalline aragonite in the form of a cylinder, sphere or plate. The support may be used to successively grow layers of different cells on the support, and is particularly useful for cultivating endothelial cells, fibroblasts and bone marrow cells.
Abstract: Bioresorbable bone prosthesis material containing particles of calcium carbonate, originating, for example, from coral skeleton, dispersed within a polymer matrix, the said particles being smaller than 1 mm in size and representing from 40 to 70% of the total weight, and the said polymer being a bioresorbable polymer.
