Thrombin (topical)

Thrombin (topical) is a medication applied directly to a wound to help stop bleeding. It works by converting a protein called fibrinogen in your blood into fibrin, which forms a clot that seals the wound. This process quickly helps to control bleeding and promotes healing. Topical thrombin is typically used in surgical settings or for minor bleeding that doesn’t stop easily. It’s effective and usually safe when used correctly, but it should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional to avoid potential complications.
