Cryoprecipitate was developed in 1964 by Judith Pool.[6][7] It was the first treatment for hemophilia A.[1] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[5] It can be stored at -25 °C for up to a year and a half.[3] After thawing and at room temperature it should be used within 4 hours.[3] It costs the NHS about £181 in the United Kingdom for a 5 unit pooled dose of cryoprecipitate.[3] It is less expensive then fibrinogen concentrate.[4]
