connection.
The use of TISSEEL Fibrin Sealant is restricted to experienced surgeons who have been trained in the use of TISSEEL.
In order to ensure optimal safe use of TISSEEL by spray application, apply a minimum spray distance of 2 cm and a
maximum spray pressure of 1.5 bar (22 psi/maximum gas flow rate 2.0 litres per minute) to minimise the potential risk
of air or gas embolism, tissue rupture, or air or gas entrapment with compression.
TIPS
•
The patient vent line attached to the trocar cannula vent valve will only vent gas out when foot pedal is depressed.
After connection to trocar cannula, ensure vent valve is fully open on trocar cannula prior to spray application.
•
If tip becomes occluded during use, remove plugged tip by unscrewing it counterclockwise. Using a sterile cloth,
wipe any clotted material off exposed tube ends. Screw on new tip and tighten with finger pressure.
•
The twin-tube assembly can be easily separated as necessary to allow freedom of movement.
Please see the TISSEEL SmPC provided together with this material.

Attach patient vent line (red luer

trocar vent valve. Ensure vent valve is
fully open.
