未知生产厂商 • Human thrombin is indicated as an aid to hemostasis whenever oozing blood and minor bleeding from capillaries and small venules are accessible and control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature, or cautery) is ineffective or impractical. In combination with fibrinogen, it is used indicated as an adjunct to hemostasis for mild to moderate bleeding in adults undergoing surgery when control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature, and cautery) is ineffective or impractical.
Human thrombin is a platelet activating factor used to treat minor bleeding.
Human thrombin (coagulation factor IIa) is a highly specific protease that transforms plasma fibrinogen into fibrin which, in the presence of clotting factor XIII in the patient's plasma, is cross-linked to form a stable clot . When applied to a surgical wound where bleeding is present, thrombin activates fibrinogen in the patient's plasma to form fibrin, which results in clot formation and hemostasis . The fibrin clot is stabilized by cross-linking occurring as a result of activation of the patient's endogenous factor XIII, which requires the presence of calcium . Human thrombin does not require any intermediate physiological agent because it naturally clots the fibrinogen of the blood directly . Any failure to clot blood occurs in the rare case where the primary clotting defect is the absence of fibrinogen itself . The speed with which human thrombin clots blood is dependent upon the concentration of both the human thrombin used and fibrinogen present .
