By PAUL HARASIM / RJ
While it’s possible the government’s position on transmission of hepatitis C among boomers may have resulted in less testing, it’s critical today boomers forget any fears of stigma and get the easy blood test.

Surgical Adhesive

Hepatitis C scare halts use of surgical adhesive

The Yomiuri Shimbun

The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry on Tuesday ordered a pharmaceutical company to stop the sale of an imported surgical tissue adhesive after an elderly man was found to have contracted the hepatitis C virus after his liver functions weakened following an operation.

The man, who is in his 70s, suffered decreased liver function following an operation in May last year, during which the tissue adhesive Takokonbu was used.

One of the basic ingredients in Takokonbu is fibrinogen, which is found in human blood, and is culled from blood supplies in the United States. The adhesive is used to prevent blood and other bodily fluids from leaking from internal organs during surgery. Takokonbu has been shipped to medical institutions throughout the country.
