[Indication and technique of human fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch use in mucogingival surgery]

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch by mucogingival operations in patients with somatic diseases. Twenty-seven patients aged 25 to 45 (15 males and 12 females) with somatic diseases such as arterial hypertension (11 patients), diabetes (8 patients), bleeding disorders (8 patients) underwent Edlan-Mejcher vestibuloplasty. Using fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch as wound dressing caused marked hemostatic effect in 3 to 5 minutes even in hypertension and bleeding disorder patients. Wound heeling was observed 14 days post-op with no excessive scarring.
