Preferred Label : Absorbable Fibrin Sealant Patch;
NCIt synonyms : Human Fibrinogen/Thrombin Patch; HFTP;
NCIt definition : A sterile, absorbable surgical sealing patch composed of an equine collagen sponge
coated with the coagulation factors human fibrinogen and human thrombin, with potential
hemostatic activity. Applied on the wound tissue, the absorbable fibrin sealant patch
adheres to the tissue and the solid fibrinogen and thrombin dissolve upon contact
with the physiological fluid. In turn, fibrinogen is converted to fibrin monomers
by thrombin, and polymerize to form a fibrin clot at the wound surface. This causes
the patch to adhere to the wound surface and promotes tissue sealing. This may reduce
lymphatic drainage and prevent seroma formation.;
