Abstract

Composite Tissue Adhesive (CTA) has been developed as a versatile hemostatic agent for the treatment of parenchymatous trauma. CTA is a fibrin-based composition formulated by adding fibrillar type I collagen to fibrinogen-Factor XIII solutions to alter the mechanical properties. CTA incorporates both collagen and fibrinogen in a formulation which is easy to administer and effective in quickly establishing hemostasis without any applied pressure. Because of its viscosity, CTA can be delivered in a controlled and traceable manner with surgical precision. A comparison of CTA with both cryoprecipitate and fibrin sealant has been conducted to evaluate their effects on hemostasis in a rat model.
