“Haemostatic biomaterial from waste fractions of human plasma fractionation process”

The present invention relates to a biocompatible biomaterial, in particular a biocompatible sponge, deriving from protein pastes obtained as by-products of human plasma fractionation, optionally processed in a scaffold of other biomaterials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, etc. The technology of the invention enables to recycle one or more protein fractions obtained as by-products, which are currently disposed of as industrial waste, thus increasing manufacturing costs. The described method enables to obtain a biomaterial with haemostatic properties. Other possible uses relate to its use as a scaffold for cell cultures in tissue engineering applications.
