We describe herein a new system for the preparation of autologous fibrin glue by means of ethanol. The system produces a good yield of fibrin glue with a high concentration of fibrinogen in a short period of time, making the glue an efficient hemostatic agent and surgical sealant, and autologous fibrin glue has the obvious advantages of safety from transmission of viral agents and from immunologic reactions.
