Claim:
1. A method of repairing skin, comprising suturing skin in need of repair with a fibrin microthread to cause skin repair, wherein the fibrin microthread is formed by a process comprising the steps of: combining a first volume of fibrinogen and a second volume of a molecule capable of forming fibrin from the fibrinogen to form a mixture; transferring the mixture to a lumen containing device; disposing a distal end of the lumen containing device in an aqueous bath; moving the distal end of the lumen containing device through the aqueous bath while extruding the mixture from the distal end of the lumen containing device into the aqueous bath; and incubating the mixture in the aqueous bath for a predetermined incubation time to form the fibrin microthread.
