Autologous fibrin glue for tympanoplasty.
To produce autologous fibrin glue (AFG) of improved quality, the concentration and amount of materials for AFG were modified. The quality of AFG was assessed through determination of fibrinogen level in plasma, observation of product during production, and testing for bonding strength before application. The AFG produced under these conditions was used successfully as a helpful adjunct in middle ear surgery.
