Coagulation mold and manufacturing process thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a blood coagulation mold assembly and a method for manufacturing it. The blood coagulation mold assembly is intended to be filled whole blood and to allow the coagulation of the blood within a mold cavity thereof to obtain a blood clot that later is being applied on an injured portion, e.g. a skin lesion, for assisting in the recovery of it. The coagulation mold assembly comprises a coagulation mold having a mold cavity containing one or more coagulation initiators, in which a blood is introduced to form a blood clot, thereby constituting a coagulation space. The coagulation mold comprises a peripheral portion extending from walls of the mold cavity in an outward direction with respect to the mold cavity. A blood-clot supporting matrix is formed over an opening of the mold cavity to allow its contact with the blood in the cavity such that the formed blood clot within the cavity is adhered to the supporting matrix. A removable closure, suitable for maintaining sterile conditions within the mold cavity is attached to the coagulation mold in two attachment portions including an inner attachment portion and an outer attachment portion. The inner attachment portion encircles the mold cavity and parts of the supporting matrix are disposed in the inner attachment portion, namely the support matrix is sandwiched between the coagulation mold and the removable closure and is retained in the desired position. The inner attachment portion further provides a sealing for the blood that is introduced into the mold cavity so as to maintain it confined to the mold cavity. It is to be noted that this attachment does not require to provide hermetic seal, only to ensure that the vast majority of the blood remains within the mold cavity. The outer attachment portion encircles the inner attachment portion and provides a sterile seal so as to maintain the mold cavity sterile.
