A process for manufacturing a fibrin membrane from blood plasma that was
partially depleted and subjected to coagulation by adding a solution of a
physiological coagulating agent, leaving the mixture to stay until
forming a gelatinous blood clot, and then dehydrating said blood clot to
obtain a fibrous membrane, which is subjected to washing with softening
agents and then to drying until obtaining a flexible and mouldable
membrane. The membrane so obtained is capable to provide an immediate and
complete haemostasis, followed by a whole reabsorption, without risk of
adhesions with the neighboring tissues, up to the cicatrisation of the
injured tissue. The membrane is mouldable and elastic, and is provided
with high mechanical properties. It may be soaked with disinfectant
agents, drugs or tissue growth factors.
