FIBRIN SEALLANTS TO TREAT BURN PATIENTS

A new medical fibrin adhesive called ARTISS is used to attach skin grafts onto burn patients. Fibrin sealants are tissue adhesives that contain the proteins fibrinogen and thrombin. ARTISS contains a lower concentration of thrombin, allowing surgeons more time to position to the skin graft before it begins to adhere to the skin. Additionally it contains aprotinin which delays the break down of blood clots. This is manufactured by Baxter.
