Provided herein are hemostatic compositions. In one embodiment, the hemostatic composition includes cross-linked polymer microspheres, such as cross-linked gelatin microspheres with pores. In another embodiment, the hemostatic composition comprises an additive such as a wetting agent, a suspending agent, or both. The hemostatic compositions may also include a hemostatic agent such as thrombin, and may include a high concentration of thrombin. The hemostatic compositions may also include plasma. Also provided herein are devices for dispersing said hemostatic compositions in a diluent, and delivering said dispersed hemostatic composition. The hemostatic compositions may also fabricated with a selected geometry as administration suggests.

Hemostatic microspheres

The present invention relates to novel formulations comprising a dry powder fibrin sealant comprised of a mixture of fibrinogen and/or thrombin, for use in the treatment of wounds or injuries, in particular for use as a topical hemostatic composition or for surgical intervention.

Formulations for wound therapy

Stabilized thrombin compositions, processes for preparing them, and kits comprising them are disclosed. The compositions comprise thrombin, a bacteriostatically effective amount of benzyl alcohol or chlorobutanol, and 0.10%-5.0% (w/v) sucrose in aqueous solution. The compositions are stable when stored at 2&#xb0; C.-8&#xb0; C. for four weeks or more.

Stabilized thrombin compositions

Compositions comprising thrombin and methods of preparing them are disclosed. The composition may be in the form of an aqueous solution at pH 5.7-7.4 consisting essentially of 0.1 mg/mL to 5.0 mg/mL thrombin, 2% to 4% (w/v) sucrose, 3.5% to 5% (w/v) mannitol, 50 mM to 300 mM NaCl, 0-5 mM CaCl, 0.03% to 1% (w/v) of a surfactant or high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol, and a physiologically acceptable buffer, or may be in lyophilized form.

Thrombin compositions

Compositions of thrombopoietin, methods of reducing adsorption of thrombopoietin to a surface, and methods of stabilizing a composition of thrombopoietin are disclosed. The compositions comprise, in addition to thrombopoietin, a physiologically acceptable buffer, a surface adsorption inhibitor selected from the group consisting of non-ionic surfactants and polyols, and an isotonic amount of a physiologically acceptable salt.
