A method of forming a powdered hemostatic composition, comprising the steps of: a) forming a suspension of a mixture comprising fibrinogen particles, thrombin, ORC fibers in a low-boiling non-aqueous solvent; b) spraying the suspension through a nozzle onto a substrate, c) allowing the non-aqueous solvent to evaporate; d) separating the composition from the substrate and sieving the composition; and thus form the powdered hemostatic composition. |
