ARTISS
Overview
What is ARTISS?
ARTISS [Fibrin Sealant], Vapor Heated, Solvent Detergent Treated, (ARTISS) is a two-component fibrin sealant made from pooled human plasma. When combined, the two components, Sealer Protein (Human) and Thrombin (Human), mimic the final stage of the blood coagulation cascade.
Sealer Protein (Human)
Sealer Protein (Human) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, vapor-heated and solvent/detergent treated preparation made from pooled human plasma. Sealer Protein (Human) is provided either as a freeze-dried powder [Sealer Protein Concentrate (Human)] for reconstitution with Fibrinolysis Inhibitor Solution (Synthetic) or as a frozen liquid solution pre-filled into one side of a dual-chambered syringe (1). The active ingredient in Sealer Protein (Human) is fibrinogen. A Fibrinolysis Inhibitor, Aprotinin (Synthetic) is included in the Sealer Protein (Human) component to delay fibrinolysis. Aprotinin (Synthetic) is manufactured by solid phase synthesis from materials completely of non-human/non-animal origin.
To obtain Sealer Protein (Human), cryoprecipitate derived from the plasma is dissolved in buffer solution, solvent/detergent treated, vapor heat treated, sterile filtered and either freeze-dried in vials or frozen in pre-filled syringes.
Thrombin (Human)
Thrombin (Human) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, vapor-heated and solvent/detergent treated preparation made from pooled human plasma. Thrombin (Human) is also provided either as a freeze-dried powder for reconstitution with Calcium Chloride Solution or as a frozen liquid solution pre-filled into one side of a dual-chambered syringe (2).
Thrombin is prepared from plasma through a series of separation and filtration steps followed by incubation of the solution with calcium chloride to activate prothrombin to thrombin. The solution subsequently undergoes ultra/diafiltration, vapor heat treatment, solvent/detergent treatment, sterile filtration and either freeze-drying in vials or frozen in pre-filled syringes.
Sealer Protein (Human) and Thrombin (Human) are made from pooled human plasma collected at US licensed collection centers. The vapor heat and solvent/detergent treatment steps used in the manufacturing process have been shown to be capable of significant viral reduction. No procedure, however, has been shown to be completely effective in removing viral infectivity from derivatives of human plasma (

What should I talk to my health care provider before I take ARTISS?
How should I use ARTISS?
ARTISS is indicated to adhere autologous skin grafts to surgically prepared wound beds resulting from burns in adult and pediatric populations greater than or equal to 1 year of age.
ARTISS is not indicated for hemostasis.
FOR TOPICAL USE ONLY – DO NOT INJECT.
The required dose of ARTISS depends on the size of the surface to be covered. The approximate surface areas covered by each package size of ARTISS are:
It is recommended that every time a patient receives a dose of ARTISS the name and lot number (batch number) of the product are documented in order to maintain a record of the batches used.

What should I look out for while using ARTISS?
Do not inject directly into the circulatory system ()
Do not use in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to aprotinin (, , )
What might happen if I take too much ARTISS?
To avoid the formation of excess granulation tissue and to ensure gradual absorption of the polymerized fibrin sealant, apply only a thin layer of ARTISS (see

Clinical Information
Chemical Structure
No Image foundClinical Pharmacology
Upon mixing Sealer Protein (Human) and Thrombin (Human), soluble fibrinogen is transformed into fibrin that adheres to the wound surface and to the skin graft to be affixed. Due to the low thrombin concentration, polymerization of ARTISS will take approximately 60 seconds.
Non-Clinical Toxicology
Do not inject directly into the circulatory system ()Do not use in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to aprotinin (, , )
Hypersensitivity or allergic/anaphylactoid reactions may occur with the use of ARTISS. Cases (<1/10,000) have been reported in post marketing experience with Baxter's fibrin sealant . In specific cases, these reactions have progressed to severe anaphylaxis. Such reactions may especially be seen if ARTISS is applied repeatedly over time or in the same setting, or if systemic aprotinin has been administered previously. Even if the first treatment was well tolerated, a subsequent administration of ARTISS or systemic aprotinin may not exclude the occurrence of an allergic reaction. Symptoms associated with allergic anaphylactic reactions include: flush, urticaria, pruritus, nausea, drop in blood pressure, tachycardia or bradycardia, dyspnea, severe hypotension and anaphylactic shock. Such reactions may also occur in patients receiving ARTISS for the first time.
Discontinue administration of ARTISS in the event of hypersensitivity reactions. Remove the already applied, polymerized product from the surgical field. Mild reactions can be managed with antihistamines. Severe hypotensive reactions require immediate intervention using current principles of shock therapy.
