Abstract
A malleable, biodegradable hemostatic agent is provided that can be used for mechanical sealing of bleeding bone tissue, as well as a method for forming a malleable, biodegradable hemostatic agent of this type, and a medical implant having a coating that includes a malleable, biodegradable hemostatic agent of this type. The malleable, biodegradable hemostatic agent contains (a) at least one saturated glycerol-1,2,3-tri-fatty acid ester having a melting temperature above 37° C., (b) at least one filling agent present in particulate form, at least in part, and having a melting temperature above 37° C., and (c) at least one compound having a melting temperature not above 37° C. and a solubility at a temperature of 25° C. of less than 50 grams per liter of water.
