Abstract:
Mechanical properties of blood clots stabilized with collagen (Pentapharm) and a gelatine (Gelastypt-M) sponge were compared with the help of thrombelastography and volumetric tests. The collagen songe was distinctly inferior to gelatine in stabilizing the clot against retraction. It appears that gelatine is a better material for filling large osseous defects that are subjected to mechanical stress.
