Title:

PROCESS OF MAKING FLOWABLE HEMOSTATIC COMPOSITIONS AND DEVICES CONTAINING SUCH COMPOSITIONS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2005016257

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to processes of making flowable hemostatic compositions and devices that include the flowable hemostatic composition disposed therein, where a volume of biocompatible liquid, a volume of a biocompatible gas, and an amount of solid particles of a biocompatible polymer are mixed together to form a substantially homogenous composition including a discontinuous gas phase and the solid particles substantially homogenously dispersed throughout a continuous liquid phase to form a flowable hemostatic composition, and the composition then transferred into a device suitable for applying the flowable hemostatic composition to a site of a body requiring hemostasis under conditions effective to maintain the substantially homogenous dispersion of the gas phase and the solid particles throughout the liquid phase.
