Introduction

It is a cost effective, biocompatible as well as biodegradable chemically modified fibrin powder, which is prepared by graft copolymerising purified, bleached and masticated fibrin with an acrylic monomer, followed by optional incorporation of drug and subsequent drying and pulverizing. The powder has potential use as a dressing aid in the treatment of various wounds of diverisifed nature including external injury, cut, burn and even ulcers in animal as well as human being. It prevents loss of electrolyte from the wound site and also prevents any infection in the wound. The uniqueness of the process lies in the economic utisation of crude fibrin which is otherwise thrown as waste, thereby making wealth out of waste.
