Disclosed is a dry composition comprising one or more polyols, which upon addition of an aqueous medium forms a substantially homogenous paste suitable for use in haemostasis procedures. The paste reconstitutes spontaneously upon addition of the liquid; hence no mechanical mixing is required for said paste to form. The composition may further comprise an extrusion enhancer, such as albumin. Also disclosed are methods of preparing said dry composition, a paste obtained from said dry composition and uses of said dry composition or paste for medical and surgical purposes. |
