More economical than Nexaband TISSUMEND II has the following advantages over current cyanoacrylate adhesives:
• TISSUMEND II is broken down by hydrolysis and eventually absorbed.
• Forms an exceptional adhesive joint that is favorably compliant with tissue.
• Delivered in a surgeon-friendly package.
TISSUMEND II polymerizes forming a strong bond between most tissue surfaces within 10 seconds after application. TISSUMEND II provides the surgeon hemostatic properties in combination with superior adhesive qualities.
INDICATIONS: TISSUMEND II is indicated for the closure of surgical wounds, declaws, tail dockings, incision sites, debrided trauma wounds, hemostasis and laser surgical procedures.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: TISSUMEND II is contraindicated in the management of infected wounds or situations where tissue closure would be detrimental to the patient. This product is not intended for intravenous administration or other routes of administration other than topical application.
PRECAUTIONS/WARNINGS:

HOW SUPPLIED: Product code: 3002931, TISSUMEND II Synthetic Absorbable Tissue Adhesive is supplied in individual prefilled pipettes (0.2mL).
Each box contains 5 individual nitrogen flooded pouches containing 4 pipettes each.
RECOMMENDED SURGICAL USE:
1. Site Preparation: The surgical site should be prepared in an appropriate manner. The surgical site should be dried before application to ensure fluids do not interfere with polymerization of TISSUMEND II.
2. After the pipette has reached room temperature, the pipette should be cut off near the distal end of the tube.
a. Declaws:i. The claw should be removed using standard techniques.ii. Excess blood should be removed before application.iii. Apply a very thin coat to one edge of the tissue, making sure to avoid over-application.iv. Wound edges should be brought together for 10 seconds with firm pressure.v. Apply bandages in a standard manner.b. Incisions:i. Excess blood should be removed before application.ii. Apply a very thin coat to one edge of the tissue, making sure to avoid over-application.iii. Wound edges should be brought together for 10 seconds with firm pressure.iv. Apply bandages in a standard manner.v. Large incisions (>2 inches) or incisions with high physical stress may require suturing.For multiple applications, portions of the pipette tip may be aseptically trimmed.
DO NOT OVER-APPLY TISSUMEND II. A light thin coat is better than a thick, heavy coat.
