Artiss is indicated as an adjunct to hemostasis in patients undergoing surgery where standard surgical techniques (such as sutures, clips, or cautery) are insufficient or impractical. It may be used in various surgical procedures including cardiovascular, thoracic, abdominal, and orthopedic surgeries to control bleeding from surfaces or small vessels.
Artiss is a two-component fibrin sealant that mimics the final stage of the body's natural coagulation cascade. When applied, the thrombin component converts fibrinogen to fibrin, which then forms a stable fibrin clot at the site of application, sealing bleeding tissue and promoting hemostasis.
Artiss is for topical application only and must not be injected into blood vessels as this may cause thrombosis. It should only be used by healthcare professionals trained in its application. Patients should be monitored for potential allergic reactions to the components. The product is supplied frozen and must be thawed before use according to manufacturer instructions.
