Abstract
The present invention is directed to a dry pad comprising pectin, a divalent cation and thrombin and to its preparation. Preferably, the density of pectin in the dry pad of the invention ranges from about equal to or higher than 1% to lower than 7% (w/v). The pad according to the invention comprises pectin having a low methoxyl content.
Claims11
A dry pad comprising pectin at a density ranging from equal to or higher than 1% to lower than 7% (w/v), a divalent cation and thrombin, wherein the pectin is low methoxyl (LM) pectin.
A method for preparing a dry pad comprising low methoxyl (LM) pectin and thrombin, the method comprising the steps of:
- a—providing LM-pectin, a divalent cation, and thrombin;
- b—mixing the pectin, divalent cation, and thrombin to bring pectin to a concentration of equal to or higher than 1% to lower than 7% (w/v) under conditions that allow homogenous gel formation;
- and
- c—drying the gel.
