TISSEEL is a fibrin sealant for use as an adjunct to haemostasis.
TISSEEL can be used as a supportive treatment where standard surgical techniques are insufficient1:
- for improvement of haemostasis
- as a tissue glue to promote adhesion/sealing, or as suture support: in gastrointestinal anastomoses or in neurosurgery where contact with cerebro-spinal fluid or dura mater may occur
- For mesh fixation in hernia repair, as an alternative or adjunct to sutures or staples.

- Control bleeding in heparinised patients2
