TissuGlu®
Holding Strong. Healing Naturally.
TissuGlu® has been developed for surgical procedures that require the creation of large planar flaps of tissue:
- Helps to minimize fluid accumulation by reducing dead space in the surgical wound
- Resists shearing forces by forming a bond five times stronger than fibrin based sealants [1]
Advantages
Easy to use
- The ergonomic TissuGlu® applicator features a Multi-Tip™ pivoting head that facilitates rapid application
- Single component– no mixing needed. Cures in the presence of moisture
- No refrigeration or special storage requirements
Features
Biocompatible
- Based on lysine-derived urethane polymer
- Strong bonding technology of tissues within minutes
- Absorbed during normal tissue healing process
- Non-toxic and biocompatible for internal use
Strong
TissuGlu® forms a bond between tissue layers 5 times stronger than fibrin based sealants [1].
Indication
TissuGlu® surgical adhesive is indicated for the approximation of tissue layers where subcutaneous dead space exists between the tissue planes in large flap surgical procedures, such as abdominoplasty.
TissuGlu® is designed to:
- Hold tissue planes together during the early stages of the Healing process [2]
- Reduce dead space where fluids can accumulate [2]
- Reduce or eliminate the need for surgical drains [3]
