  • Patent number: 7572769
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flowable fibrin adhesive granulate containing thrombin, Factor XIII, fibrinogen, and a calcium salt in the form of granules with a particle size of more than 50 ?m to 1000 ?m. Said granulate is useful for the healing of wounds in surgery, tissue therapy and/or as supporting material for biological factors. The invention also relates to an effervescent granulate and an effervescent powder for producing a foam that is suitable for hemostasis. The invention further relates to preparations to arrest bleeding containing a non-woven fabric for wounds consisting of a biodegradable supporting material that is coated with a fibrin glue granulate mixture or mixed granulate.

  • Publication number: 20040005310
    Abstract: A method for reconstituting lyophilized proteins, in which the reconstitution takes place in a receptacle in which the gas pressure is between 1 mbar and atmospheric pressure, is described. In the lyophilized protein-containing receptacle, the gas pressure of between 1 mbar and atmospheric pressure, which gas pressure is required in accordance with the invention, is set by introducing air or an inert gas, and the quantity of water for injection purposes which is required for dissolving the protein is added. The method is particularly suitable for blood coagulation factors, the von Willebrand factor and albumin.

  • Patent number: 6486377
    Abstract: A biodegradable, flexible wound covering based on fibrin and a process for its preparation are described, in which a fibrinogen solution is subjected to a single-stage or multistage dialysis, then a flexible fibrin web is formed by action of an aqueous thrombin solution on the fibrinogen solution and this is subsequently subjected to freeze-drying.
