Marine Polymer Technologies |
Made of fully acetylated, high molecular-weight chitin in a crystalline, three-dimensional beta structure array, and isolated from the centric diatom Thalassiosira fluviatilis. It is claimed to be 7 times faster in achieving hemostasis than fibrin glue, because it agglutinates red blood cells, activates platelets whose pseudopodia make robust contact with chitin and promotes fibrin gel formation within the patch, thus acting in a redundant way even on heparinized patients |
