Abstract
A sprayable preparation for accelerated hemostasis and optimized biochemical control of wound closure contains a powdery mixture of 15 to 60% by weight of thrombin, 5 to 80% by weight of a desiccating and stabilizing agent, viz., albumin, globulin and/or fibrinogen, and 1 to 10% by weight of a fibrinolysis inhibitor. The powdery mixture is suspended in a low-boiling, anhydrous solvent, which is used as a propellant. For effective wound closure and coverage, a spray jet of this suspension is directed onto the wound under evaporation of the solvent so that substantially only the dry, solid powdery mixture reaches the wound. This method of application by spraying is also disclosed.

An enriched plasma derivative composition useful for accelerated hemostasis and optimized control of wound closure, consisting essentially of thrombin, a desiccating and stabilizing agent, and a fibrinolysis inhibitor, the constituents of the composition being in powdery state, and said composition being in the form of a sprayable admixture.
Method of treating a wound or the area of an operation comprising the step of applying an enriched plasma derivative composition thereto, by spraying, to effect accelerated hemostasis and optimized control of wound closure, said composition consisting essentially of thrombin, a desiccating and stabilizing agent, and a fibrinolysis inhibitor, the constituents of the composition being in powdery state, and said composition being in the form of a sprayable admixture.
