Abstract

A safe and effective hemostatic material is provided. A hemostatic material comprising as an effective ingredient thrombin and fibrinogen characterized in that a bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is used as a supporting material. The use of the hemostatic material of the present invention allows for quick and thorough hemostasis for both projectile bleeding and exudative bleeding.

Claims (28)

1 . A hemostatic material comprising as an effective ingredient thrombin and fibrinogen held on a supporting material consisting of a bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric.

2 . The hemostatic material according to claim 1 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid and a copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid.

3 . The hemostatic material according to claim 1 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is a nonwoven fabric made of a material of polyglycolic acid.

4 . The hemostatic material according to claim 1 , wherein the bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric previously holds at least thrombin among thrombin and fibrinogen.

5 . The hemostatic material according to claim 1 , wherein said hemostatic material comprises at least one additive selected from Factor XIII, a protease inhibitor, or calcium chloride.

6 . The hemostatic material according to claim 1 , wherein thrombin, fibrinogen and Factor XIII are either derived from human blood or produced by a genetic recombination technique.

7 - 13 . (canceled)

14 . A method of preparing a bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric holding thrombin as an effective ingredient, comprising the steps of immersing a bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric into a solution containing thrombin and lyophilizing the obtained nonwoven fabric.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid and a copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid.

16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is a nonwoven fabric made of a material of polyglycolic acid.

17 . The method according to any claim 14 , wherein said hemostatic material comprises at least one additive selected from Factor XIII, a protease inhibitor, or calcium chloride.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein said calcium chloride is fixed to the bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric together with thrombin.

19 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein said Factor XIII is added to fibrinogen.

20 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein said thrombin, fibrinogen and Factor XIII are either derived from human blood or produced by a genetic recombination technique.

21 . A hemostatic kit comprising a bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric holding thrombin as an effective ingredient, and a container comprising fibrinogen as an effective ingredient.

22 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 21 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid and a copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid.

23 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 21 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is a nonwoven fabric made of a material of polyglycolic acid.

24 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 21 , wherein said hemostatic kit comprises at least one additive selected from Factor XIII, a protease inhibitor, or calcium chloride.

25 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 24 , wherein said calcium chloride is added to the bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric as an additive for thrombin.

26 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 24 , wherein said Factor XIII is included in a container comprising fibrinogen.

27 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 21 , wherein said thrombin, fibrinogen and Factor XIII are either derived from human blood or produced by a genetic recombination technique.

28 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 21 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric holding thrombin is prepared by the steps of immersing a bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric into a solution containing thrombin and of lyophilizing the obtained nonwoven fabric.

29 . A hemostatic kit comprising a bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric as a substrate, a container comprising thrombin as an effective ingredient and a container comprising fibrinogen as an effective ingredient.

30 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 29 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid and a copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid.

31 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 29 , wherein said bioabsorbable synthetic nonwoven fabric is a nonwoven fabric made of a material of polyglycolic acid.

32 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 29 , wherein said hemostatic kit comprises at least one additive selected from Factor XIII, a protease inhibitor, or calcium chloride.

33 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 32 , wherein said Factor XIII is included in a container comprising fibrinogen.

34 . The hemostatic kit according to claim 29 , wherein said thrombin, fibrinogen and Factor XIII are either derived from human blood or produced by a genetic recombination technique.
