  • Publication number: 20240001005
    Abstract: A method for preventing surgical adhesion between surfaces that are to be prevented uses a blood product having fibrin. The blood product can be a singled layered blood product having components from plasma, components added to initiate a coagulation process, and components created during the coagulation process. The products and methods can be used for preventing surgical adhesion, for stopping or reducing bleeding in an open surgical wound, and for treating surgical wounds.
