  • Publication number: 20150359857
    Abstract: ClotSpray is a sprayable fibrin-based hemostatic agent applied from an aerosol can. The agent is intended for use as an adjunct or primary treatment in moderate intraoperative hemorrhage and treatment of burns. It can be applied topically to the wound from an aerosol can without need of preparation, unfreezing or interruption during the length of the surgical procedure. Its crosslinking technology generates an adhesive fibrin sealant required for hemostasis. The attachment properties of the gel as well as the instant formation of a fibrin gel ensures that a strong stable fibrin clot will control light to moderate bleeding from a wound.

  • Patent number: 8906856
    Abstract: ClotGel is a single-component hemostatic agent designed for use as an adjunct or primary treatment in moderate intraoperative hemorrhage and in trauma. It can be applied topically to the wound either on the skin in a laparatomy or as non-invasive manner in surgical procedures. Its crosslinking technology generates an adhesive stable fibrin clot using a single component (fibrin II) required for hemostasis. The agent is a mixture of lyophilized polymerized fibrin II and fibrin II monomer which is polymerized and stabilized when in contact with the blood. The attachment properties of the gel, as well as the rapid formation of a fibrin clot, ensures that a strong stable fibrin clot is formed within 1 minute of application.

  • Patent number: 8741845
    Abstract: ClotBlock is a lyophilized fibrin hemostatic designed for use an adjunct or primary treatment in moderate to severe hemorrhage. It can be applied directly to the wound in a laparotomy procedure or as non-invasive sealant. Its crosslinking technology generates a strong and safe adhesive fibrin sealant required for high volume hemostasis. The attachment properties of the cake as well as the rapid formation of and stability of the fibrin clot ensures that a strong stable fibrin clot is formed within 1 to 5 minutes depending on the grade of the wound. The agent is safe, biocompatible, biodegradable and can be stored at room temperature for one year.

  • Patent number: 8680240
    Abstract: ClotFoam is a sealant and hemostatic agent for use in cases of non-compressible hemorrhage for moderate to severe bleeding. It can be applied in the operating room through laparoscopic ports, or directly over lacerated tissue in laparotomy procedures or outside the operating room through a mixing needle and/or a spray injection method following intracavitary severe trauma or surgery. Its crosslinking technology generates an adhesive scaffold that carries a fibrin sealant required for hemostasis. Clotfoam produces a foam that spreads throughout a body cavity reaching the lacerated tissue to seal tissue and promote the coagulation cascade. The composition is biocompatible and non-inflammatory. The invention uses fibrin monomer polymerized by a change of pH as active sealing component. The viscoelastic properties of the foam as well as the rapid formation of a fibrin clot ensure that the sealant remains at the site of application without being washed away by blood.

  • Patent number: 8367802
    Abstract: A hemostatic agent designed for use in cases of non-compressible hemorrhage. It can be applied through a mixing needle and/or a spray injection method following abdominal, chest, extremities or other intracavitary severe trauma to promote hemostasis, or it can be used for laparoscopic procedures or other surgical procedures in which compression is not possible or recommended. Its crosslinking technology generates an adhesive three-dimensional polymeric network or scaffold that carries a fibrin sealant required for hemostasis. When mixed, it produces a foam that spreads throughout a body cavity reaching the lacerated tissue to seal tissue and promote the coagulation cascade. The fibrin components are produced by a novel dialysis method which does not present thrombin to the immune system and can be maintained in solution for six weeks without significant proteolytic degradation.
