Fibrin composition, method and wound articles

A method of forming a fibrin hydrogel composition is described. The method comprises forming an aqueous solution comprising fibrinogen, fibrin-forming enzyme, and a fibrin hydrogel forming salt. The fibrin hydrogel forming salt concentration is greater than or equal to the threshold concentration to form a fibrin hydrogel. The method further comprises reducing the salt concentration below the threshold concentration to form a fibrin hydrogel. In some embodiments, the aqueous solution further comprises a plasticizer. A fibrin composition is also described comprising a fibrin hydrogel having a fibrin concentration ranging from 0.1 to 10 wt-%; and a fibrin hydrogel forming salt. The fibrin hydrogel forming salt has a concentration less than a threshold concentration to form the fibrin hydrogel. The fibrin hydrogel or dehydrated fibrin hydrogel can be in various physical forms such a sheet, foam, or plurality of pieces. Also described are methods of forming a fibrin article, wound dressings and a method of treatment of a wound.

DRESSING MATERIAL FOR PUNCTURE

[Problem]

The present invention provides a dressing material for puncture that allows puncture while observing a blood vessel of a puncture site and a puncture needle with an ultrasound examination device, and allows a puncture device to be directly fixed. Consequently, the present invention provides a dressing material for puncture that avoids entering of air between an adhesive and a skin when the dressing material for puncture is attached and improves not only an ultrasonic transparency but also a moisture permeability.

[Solution]

A dressing material for puncture of the present invention includes a support film, a frame sheet, and a release liner, which are laminated from an upper side in this order. An adhesive is used to bond the support film and the frame sheet, and bond the frame sheet and the release liner. The support film is a base material having a thickness of from 10 m to 80 m. The adhesive has a mass per unit area of from 30 g/m.sup.2 to 80 g/m.sup.2.
