ABSTRACT:
A process for producing a fibrinogen concentrate for use as a tissue adhesive from mammalian plasma includes freezing the plasma to a temperature of at most about -20.degree. C. for less than four hours in a container having a surface to volume ratio of from about 4.38:1 to about 1.65:1 reciprocal centimeters, thereby producing frozen plasma; thawing the frozen plasma at a temperature of at least about 4.degree. C. for a time sufficient to attain about 5% to about 95% residual icing, thereby producing thawed plasma; and centrifuging the thawed plasma to produce a fibrinogen concentrate having a solids content of about 6% to about 44% solids by weight of the concentrate.
