Summary

The fibrin sealants are prepared from fibrinogen, thrombin, and sometimes factor XIII that have been purified from human plasma. Tissucol Duo Quick (Baxter, Vienna, Austria) is a kind of fibrin sealants with popular use. It is a 2-component tissue adhesive that resembles natural fibrin formation. This glue has 2 components: fibrinogen (mixed with factor XIII and aprotinin) and thrombin-CaCl2 solution. When equal amounts of the 2 components are mixed, the monomers aggregate by cross-linking, resulting in a fibrin clot. It forms a elastic, whitish substance and provides strong adhesion to the tissue. Therefore, it is a good agent to seal small wounds or to replace the use of suture.
