Abstract
A method and device for activating and applying a solution of fibrinogen to a desired site. The method includes contacting the solution of fibrinogen with immobilized thrombin resulting in an activated solution of polymerizable fibrin, and delivering the activated solution to the desired site. The device includes a housing having a compartment for a solution of fibrinogen, immobilized thrombin, a structure for bringing the solution of fibrinogen in contact with the immobilized thrombin under conditions which permit the activation of the fibrinogen resulting in polymerizable fibrin, and a structure for delivery of the activated solution to the desired site.
