Abstract:
1. A method of making a fibrin microthread, the method comprising: (a) combining a first volume of fibrinogen and a second volume of a molecule capable of forming fibrin from the fibrinogen to form a mixture; (b) transferring the mixture to a lumen containing device; (c) disposing a distal end of the lumen containing device into an aqueous bath; (d) moving the distal end of the lumen containing device through the aqueous bath at a first velocity; (e) extruding the mixture of the fibrinogen and the molecule through the distal end of the lumen containing device into an aqueous bath at a second velocity while moving the distal end of the lumen containing device through the aqueous bath at the first velocity, the second velocity being different than the first velocity; (f) allowing the fibrin microthread to substantially form in the aqueous bath.
