Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide a concise and simple technical manual for manufacturing autologous fibrin tissue adhesive derived from the precipitation of fibrinogen using a combination of ethanol and freezing for surgery. All materials and equipment needed to manufacture ethanol-based autologous fibrin tissue adhesive are listed. In addition, step-by-step instructions are provided to allow for easy and rapid fibrin adhesive production. Ethanol-based autologous fibrin tissue adhesive can be manufactured in under 60 minutes. Furthermore, at our institution the startup cost for manufacturing ethanol-based autologous fibrin tissue adhesive was under $2,500.00. Ethanol-based autologous fibrin tissue adhesive is a safe, reliable, and easily manufactured autologous fibrin tissue adhesive that can be made by a trained technician in any blood bank, pharmacy, or surgical laboratory.
