PCT No. PCT/EP96/00160 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 28, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 28, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 16, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/22115 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 25, 1996The self-supporting sheet-like material of cross linked fibrin has a regular pore size. It is used as a bio-mechanical barrier for the treatment of internal traumatic lesions, in particular for the prevention of adhesion formation as a post-operative complication. In the course of this it can be used either alone or in combination with a fibrin glue acting as a haemostatic agent. Since the material in terms of its composition and general structure is similar to endogenous products, it has, inter alia, an excellent bio-compatibility, bio-degradability and bio-resorbability. |
