... effects FG is mainly derived from blood plasma and contains fibrinogen and thrombin. Further ingredients are anti-fibrinolytic agents (such as aprotinin) and calcium chloride. Some fibrin sealants also contain factor XIII. FG is available as a fluid or bound to a mesh. It can be either...

... frequency, human and bovine components of fibrin sealants currently available could contain blood-borne pathogens. Autologous platelet-rich fibrin sealant (P-RFS) eliminates this risk and has additional advantages such as hemostatic and antibacterial effects. Therefore, its feasibility was assessed...

...T.T. Andreassen; P.H. Jørgensen Cellulose sponges were cut into two pieces and fibrin sealant was applied to the opposing surfaces, which were held together with sutures. In each rat two sets of sponges, one with and one without fibrin sealant, were implanted subcutaneously for 10 days. The tensile...

...I. Nur; Y. Lyahovetsky; L. Bar; M. Schon A rabbit partial liver resection model was used to determine the hemostatic effectiveness of a new fibrin sealant. Persistent bleeding, with a mean bleeding time of 372 s and blood loss of 18 ml, from a resected lobe of the liver was achieved after rabbits...

...J.B. Hanks; H.K. Kjaergard; D.A. Hollingsbee Aim: To evaluate the haemostatic properties of Vivostat ® patient-derived fibrin sealant in a broad range of surgical procedures. Method: In a prospective, randomised, multicentre, clinical study, typical surgical wounds of 69 patients (cardiothoracic...

...J.L. Velada; D.A. Hollingsbee This study compared the physical characteristics of Vivostat ® patient-derived sealant with two conventional fibrin sealants, Tissucol ® and Beriplast ® . Vivostat sealant exhibited greater elasticity without compromising tensile strength. Vivostat sealant polymerised...

...H.K. Kjaergard; J.L. Velada; T. Pulawska; V.S. Ellensen; S.S. Larsen; D.A. Hollingsbee It is crucial for the surgeon to know the physical properties of a surgical sealant. Current test methods of fibrin sealant involving animal testing or in vitro testing of sealant using artificial substrates have...
