                 Application No. 09/063,338                                                                             

                        1.     A method of producing an autologous bioadhesive sealant from a                           
                 single whole blood sample, comprising:                                                                 
                        forming an inactive platelet rich plasma from said whole blood sample;                          
                        dividing said inactive platelet rich plasma into a first and a second portion;                  
                        reactivating said first portion of said inactive platelet rich plasma to form a                 
                 clot;                                                                                                  
                        triturating said clot to obtain a serum comprising autologous thrombin from                     
                 said reactivated first portion; and                                                                    
                        mixing said serum with said second portion of said inactive platelet rich                       
                 plasma.                                                                                                

                        17.    A method of producing an autologous bioadhesive sealant from a                           
                 single whole blood sample, comprising:                                                                 
                        forming an inactive platelet rich plasma and an inactive platelet poor                          
                 plasma from said whole blood sample;                                                                   
                        reactivating said inactive platelet rich plasma to form a clot;                                 
                        triturating said clot to obtain a serum comprising autologous thrombin; and                     
                        mixing said serum with said platelet poor plasma.                                               

                        29.    A method of producing an autologous bioadhesive sealant from a                           
                 single whole blood sample, comprising:                                                                 
                        forming an inactive platelet poor plasma from said whole blood sample;                          
                        dividing said inactive platelet poor plasma into a first and a second portion;                  
                        reactivating said first portion of said inactive platelet poor plasma to form a                 
                 clot;                                                                                                  
                        triturating said clot to obtain a serum comprising autologous thrombin; and                     
                        mixing said serum with said second portion of said inactive platelet poor                       
                 plasma.
