Development of a fibrin glue in experimental corneal perforations

SUMMARY

This paper shows the development of a fibrin glue to be used in experimental corneal perforations. We found the concentration of thrombin of l.5mg/ ml of solution to be very adequate because the average time for solidification of the glue was 5.6 seconds, rapidly enough for this kind of perforation.

Key words:
fibrin; glue; corneal perforation
