Hemostatic compositions
The invention relates to a hemostatic composition in powder form comprising collagen of the fibrillar type comprising a content of fibrous collagen and/or fibrillar collagen of at least 70% by weight relative to the total weight of the collagen, and at least one monosaccharide, and optionally, at least one compound selected from coagulation factors and glycosaminoglycans. The invention further relates to a method for preparing such composition, and to a unit comprising such composition and a spraying device.

collagen of the fibrillar type comprising a content of fibrous collagen and/or fibrillar collagen of at least 70% by weight relative to the total weight of the collagen, wherein said collagen is present in an amount ranging from 80% to 90% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and
at least one monosaccharide in a amount ranging from 2.5% to 7.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; and
a glycosaminoglycan content ranging from 5% to 12.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises a collagen/monosaccharide weight ratio ranging from 10 to 50.
3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein said collagen/monosaccharide weight ratio is 19.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the collagen comprises a content of fibrous collagen and/or fibrillar collagen ranging from 85% to 95% by weight relative to the total weight of the collagen.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition further comprises a collagen/total carbohydrate compounds weight ratio ranging from 2 to 40, wherein the weight of the total carbohydrate compounds is the sum of the weight of the monosaccharide(s) and the weight of the glycosaminoglycan(s).
6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition further comprises coagulation factor, in an amount ranging from 0.01 IU/mg to 20 IU/mg of the composition.
7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein said coagulation factor is thrombin.
8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition has a tapped density greater than 0.4 g/mL.
9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises at least 50% by weight of particles whose size is between 200 μm and 400 μm.
10. A hemostatic composition in powder form of claim 1 , comprising:
collagen is in an amount of 86.36% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition,
glucose, in an amount of 4.54% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and
chondroitin sulfate, in an amount of 9.09% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
11. The composition of claim 10 , further comprising thrombin, in an amount of 0.2 IU/mg to 2 IU/mg of the composition.
12. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one coagulation factor in an amount lower than 0.1% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
13. A method for preparing a hemostatic composition of claim 1 , which comprises comprising at least the following steps:
a) forming an aqueous suspension of a composition comprising a collagen of fibrillar type having a content of fibrous collagen and/or fibrillar collagen of at least 70% by weight relative to the total weight of the collagen, wherein said collagen is present in an amount ranging from 80% to 90% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and at least one monosaccharide in a amount ranging from 2.5% to 7.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition,
b) recovering the composition formed in step a) in the form of precipitate, paste or gel, notably by centrifugation or decantation,
c) drying the product composition,
d) grinding of the composition to the desired granulometry
e) adding at least one glycosaminoglycan in a content ranging from 5% to 12.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the collagen used in step a) is obtained by basic extraction.
15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising a step e) subsequent to the step d), which comprises adding least one coagulation factor, and wherein said at least one glycosaminoglycan is selected from the group consisting of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, hyaluronic acid and mixtures thereof.
