Abstract
A method is provided for forming fibrin coatings on a substrate, such as device for implantation in a body. The fibrin coatings are dried to provide a fibrin coating having the ability to be stored for extended periods before use. To provide coatings having high shear force resistance, the substrate is contacted first with thrombin and second with fibrinogen.
