  • Hemostatic dressing
    Publication number: 20060155234
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hemostatic dressing which comprises a plurality of layers that contain resorbable materials and/or coagulation proteins. In particular, the invention includes dressings in which a layer of thrombin is sandwiched between a first and second layer of fibrinogen and wherein the layer of thrombin is not coextensive with the first and/or second layer of fibrinogen. The hemostatic dressings are useful for the treatment of wounded tissue.
