A PROTOCOL FOR PREPARATION FIBRIN SEALANT FROM HUMAN PLASMA
Overview
Abstract:
Fibrin sealant is an
adhesive product used to stop bleeding, seal wound during and after surgery.
Commerciality available fibrin sealant are made from pooled human blood which
carries the risk of blood-borne infections and expensive. Autologous fibrin
sealant results in reduced risks of containmination and immunological responds
compared to commercial fibrin sealant. Methods:
the purpose of this paper was to propose a simple technique of harvesting
fibrinogen and thrombin and preparing autologous fibrin sealant from 10 whole
blood samples. Results: From
autologous blood, using protamin concentration of 10mg/ml, precipitated
67.42%-96.08% of fibrinogen (avarage 81.05%) present in the plasma. Thrombin
was obtained through plasma combined canxi cloride 10% incubated 370C
in 15 minutes. Autologous fibrin sealant
was formed in 8 minutes on avarage when mixing fibrinogen and thrombin with
ratio 1:1. Conclusions: a simple
process for harverting both the fibrinogen and thrombin component from small
blood volume was developed. The autologous fibrin sealant can be prepared on
demand with any volume of patients’ blood within a short time.
