  1. Fibrin Glue for Pterygium Surgery Sathish Srinivasan FRCSEd, FRCOphth Consultant Ophthalmologist Ayr Hospital, Ayr Scotland, UK

  2. No financial interest

  3. Introduction • Chemical composition • How to mix • How to apply • Results

  4. A two-component fibrin sealant. • Contains two of the protein that makes the blood clot. • Fibrinogen and thrombin

  5. SEALANT PROTEIN: solution composed of Human fibrinogen, plasminogen, fibronectin and Factor XIII reconstituted in a Bovine aprotinin solution • SEALANT SETTING: solution composed of Human thrombin reconstituted in a calcium chloride solution

  6. Simulates Physiological Clotting Plasma clot Tisseel A non-physiologic sealant

  7. What can you do with Tisseel? • Control intra-operative bleeding • Prevent post-operative haemorrhage • Repair leaks including CSF • Prevent post-op leakage including CSF • To promote tissue adhesion • To support a suture line

  8. Fibrin Glue CAN…. • Complement good surgical haemostatic techniques, such as • Ligatures or sutures • Clips or staples • Electrocautery • Provide a water or fluid-tight seal CANNOT…. • Stop arterial bleeding • Stop severe venous bleeding

  9. Clinical experience with Tisseel • No documented transmission of: • HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C • Over 33 years of use in many countries • Available in 50 countries worldwide • More than 17 million applications to date • 3500+ publications in most surgical disciplines Data on file, Baxter Healthcare

  10. Tisseel Kit has 4 components • 1 vial: Sealer protein lyophilized concentrate. • 1 vial: Lyophilized human thrombin. • 1 vial: Aprotinin solution. • 1 vial: Calcium chloride solution.

  11. What's in it • When reconstituted 1 ml of each solution contains: • Human Fibrinogen: 72-110 mg in 96-125 mg protein, aprotinin (bovine) 3000 KIU/ml. Inactive ingredients include human albumin, L-Histidine, niacinamide, polysorbate 80 and sodium citrate.

  12. Human thrombin 5 or 500 IU, in 45-55 mg protein, calcium chloride 40 micromoles/ litre. Inactive ingredients include human albumin and sodium chloride.

  13. Human plasma pools are tested for presence of genome sequences of HIV, HBV and HCV • Tisseel is vapor-heated to inactivate viruses • No evidence of disease transmission yet • What about prions in Bovine aprotinin

  14. Pharmacokinetics • Tisseel is intended for epilesional use only. • Intravascular pharmacokinetic studies have not been performed in humans. • Fibrin sealants are metabolized in the same way as endogenous fibrin – fibrinolysis and phagocytosis.

  15. Contraindications • Not for intravascular use. Carries a high risk of thromboembolic complications. • Remember it has a bovine protein (aprotinin) : risk of anaphylactic reaction. • Risk is slightly higher in cases of previous exposure.

  16. CASE 2: POSTOP DISLOCATION OF CONJUNCTIVAL GRAFT Eye, 2007
