Abstract
A method and kit for stopping cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, comprising penetrating and passing through a dural tissue an applicator to access an interior dural space, injecting from the applicator a fibrinogen-containing solution into said dural space, applying a sealing member containing a fibrinogen polymerizing agent onto an exterior surface of the dural tissue, and forming a polymerized fibrinogen or polymerized fibrin clot by contacting the injected fibrinogen-containing solution and the fibrinogen polymerizing agent.
