Abstract
Provided is a thrombin-carrying hemostatic sheet that is suitable for hemostasis during surgery, in particular, for hemostasis during spine surgery, that is convenient without preparation before use, and that is bioabsorbable and can be embedded in the body as it is. The hemostatic sheet is composed of a gelatin sponge carrying an effective amount of thrombin, wherein (A) the density is 30 to 55 mg/cm3, and (B) the shape maintaining angle in wet conditions is 55 to 120°.
Claims19
A hemostatic sheet comprising a gelatin sponge carrying 10 to 200 IU/cm2 of thrombin,

- D) when the sheet cut to have a length of 10.0±1.0 mm and a breadth of 20.0±1.0 mm is dipped in physiological saline for 30 minutes, and then, is placed on a horizontally retained cylindrical metal rod having a diameter of 2.0±0.2 mm and a length of greater than or equal to 11.0 mm such that a center line of the sheet in the breadth direction is coincident with the rod, and is left to stand for 5 to 30 seconds, a shape maintaining angle in a wet condition, represented by a spread angle between both ends of the sheet (innermost ends) centered on the metal rod, is 55 to 120 degrees.
A hemostatic sheet comprising a gelatin sponge carrying 50±15 IU/cm2 of human recombinant thrombin, configured for hemostasis during a spine surgery,
- wherein A) the hemostatic sheet has a thickness in a range of 1.0 to 3.5 mm,
- B) the hemostatic sheet has a density of 30 to 55 mg/cm3,

- D) when the sheet cut to have a length of 10.0±1.0 mm and a breadth of 20.0±1.0 mm is dipped in physiological saline for 30 minutes, and then, is placed on a horizontally retained cylindrical metal rod having a diameter of 2.0±0.2 mm and a length of greater than or equal to 11.0 mm such that a center line of the sheet in the breadth direction is coincident with the rod, and is left to stand for 5 to 30 seconds, a shape maintaining angle in a wet condition, represented by a spread angle between both ends of the sheet (innermost ends) centered on the metal rod, is 55 to 120 degrees.
A method for producing a hemostatic sheet including a gelatin sponge carrying an effective amount of thrombin, the method comprising:
- (1) a step of producing a thermally cross-linked gelatin sponge by performing a thermal treatment with respect to a gelatin sponge obtained by foaming and drying 3 to 6 weight % of a gelatin solution to have a foam density of 0.20 to 0.34 g/mL, at a temperature of 120 to 165° C. for 10 to 30 hours in total;
- and
- (2) a step of producing a cross-linked gelatin sponge carrying an effective amount of thrombin by infiltrating the thermally cross-linked gelatin sponge obtained in the step (1) in a thrombin solution, and then, by drying the gelatin sponge,
- wherein the dried gelatin sponge or the thermally cross-linked gelatin sponge obtained in the step (1), or the cross-linked gelatin sponge carrying an effective amount of thrombin, obtained in the step (2), is sliced to have a thickness of 1.0 to 3.5 mm.
