The aim of the various fibrinogen-based biological glues is to reproduce and magnify the physiological coagulation processes. They can be defined as long-life reinforced clots. These glues have the following properties: adhesive property, haemostatic property, cicatrizing property, antiseptic property. Two proprietary medicinal products are actually available on the French market: Tissucol, Biocol. These glues require a preparation time of about 20 minutes; they can be used either drop by drop or continuously by spraying, with the use of a special device.

D015718	Fibrin Tissue Adhesive	An autologous or commercial tissue adhesive containing FIBRINOGEN and THROMBIN. The commercial product is a two component system from human plasma that contains more than fibrinogen and thrombin. The first component contains highly concentrated fibrinogen, FACTOR VIII, fibronectin, and traces of other plasma proteins. The second component contains thrombin, calcium chloride, and antifibrinolytic agents such as APROTININ. Mixing of the two components promotes BLOOD CLOTTING and the formation and cross-linking of fibrin. The tissue adhesive is used for tissue sealing, HEMOSTASIS, and WOUND HEALING.
