  • Publication number: 20160121017
    Abstract: The present invention trademarked ClotGel© is a fibrin II-based hemostat made of two components that are mixed into a single syringe to be delivered 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 cross-linking technology generates an adhesive stable fibrin clot required for hemostasis. The agent consists of a cross-linked gelatin that is homogenized in a solution of fibrin monomer in acetic acid, which is reconstituted before use from a lyophilized fibrin monomer. When both components are mixed into a syringe they produce a viscous gel-like composition that is polymerized and stabilized when in contact with blood. The attachment properties of the composition, as well as the rapid formation of a fibrin clot, ensures that a strong stable blood clot is formed over a bleeding wound within 2 minutes of application.

  • Patent number: 8314211
    Abstract: ClotFoam is a surgical sealant and hemostatic agent designed to be used in cases of non-compressible hemorrhage. 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 abdominal, chest, extremities or other intracavitary severe trauma to promote hemostasis. Its crosslinking technology generates an adhesive three-dimensional polymeric network or scaffold that carries a fibrin sealant required for hemostasis. When mixed, Clotfoam produces a foam that spreads throughout a body cavity reaching the lacerated tissue to seal tissue and promote the coagulation cascade. The viscoelastic attachment properties of the foam as well as the rapid formation of a fibrin clot that ensure that the sealant remains at the site of application without being washed away by blood or displaced by movement of the target tissue.

  • Publication number: 20120142621
    Abstract: A microbial ethyl esther sophorolipid derivative with no acetylated groups produced by Candida species, for treating and preventing sepsis/septic shock. The method of producing sophorolipids is through microbial resting cells of Candida bombicola. The sophorolipids obtained from resting state cultures are isolated as a complex mixture of compounds and then decanted as a dense oil from the culture broth, subsequently washed to remove free fatty acids. Secondary chemical transformation via base catalyzed hydrolysis is used to reduce the 8 possible structural sophorolipid species to a single moiety, the 17-L-[(2?-O-b-D-glucopyranosyl-b-D-glucopyranosyl)-oxy]-cis-9-octadecenoate de-acetylated free acid. The compound acts primarily through decreasing inflammatory cytokines and eliciting other synergistic anti-inflammatory mechanisms by blocking TLR4-CD14 upstream of the inflammatory signaling cascade.

  • Publication number: 20100256671
    Abstract: ClotFoam is an hemostatic agent designed for non-compressible hemorrhage. It can be applied outside the operating room 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 in the operating room 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, Clotfoam produces a foam that spreads throughout a body cavity reaching the lacerated tissue to seal tissue and promote the coagulation cascade. The viscoelastic attachment properties of the foam as well as the rapid formation of a fibrin clot that ensure that the sealant remains at the site of application without being washed away by blood or displaced by movement of the target tissue .
