GluetissR Aortic Glue - CE 0125

The Safe Glue For Aortic Dissection
 

Gluetiss - a bond for life
We are the UK distributors of  GluetissR Aortic Glue.




Two Components - Two Applicators

This is a biologically based two-component adhesive comprising two solutions in ready to use applicators.

Syringe 1 - Contains the honey-coloured glue component which consists of a gelatin-resorcinol solution.

Syringe 2 - Contains the clear hardening component which consists of a glutardialdehyde/glyoxal solution.
 

Safe Results

GluetissR requires little effort and preparation and is a reliable, high quality product.

Simple and Fast

  • Easy to apply
  • Can be applied directly with ready to use sterile applicators
  • Does not require prior heating (although heating does reduce viscosity)
  • Can be stored without refrigeration
    • Safe and Reliable
  • Optimised consistency, high initial and final adhesive strength
  • Tissue stabilises and heals quickly
  • No leaky sutures and post-surgical bleeding
  • High shear and tensile strength
  • Creates permanent and flexible tissue bond
  • Complete absorption by the body within 6 weeks, depending on the amount used
  • Tested over many years (in clinical trial since 1992)
  • Contains no formaldehydes


    • Application of the Glue

  • The adhesive solution is applied as thinly as possible to both of the dry surfaces to be glued, creating a fine adhesive film.
  • The hardener (the clear solution) is then applied selectively in drops to one side only.  2 to 3 drops (0.05 - 0.1ml) are sufficient to polymerise 1 ml of the glue.
  • The two components are then mixed together briefly using cannulas.
  • The surfaces to be bonded must now be pressed together immediately, and pressure must be applied as evenly and over as large an area as possible for approx. 1 minute.

    • After approx. 2 minutes, polymerisation is more or less complete and the glue sufficiently cured.  Compression clamps specially developed for this purpose can be used to press the surfaces together.
     
     

    GluetissR components have been specially chosen to ensure that adhesive ability, tolerance and absorbability of the polymerised adhesive substances are optimally adapted to the patient’s needs.  A positive and problem free healing process was achieved with no definite morphological changes or dependency as the result of the use of the glue.
