Abstract

TachoSil® (Human Thrombin, Human Fibrinogen absorbable collagen fibrin sealant patch) is a ready-to-use degradable surgical patch. TachoSil® consists of a whitish, closed cell (honeycomb) equine Collagen Sponge coated on one side with the active ingredients Human Fibrinogen (human sealer protein) and Human Thrombin. Riboflavin is included in the coating mixture as a yellow colorant to signify the active side. Each cm2 contains 5.5 mg of Human Fibrinogen, 2.0 units (IU) of Human Thrombin and 2.1 mg Collagen Sponge.
