So let's look at a video of preparation of
0:03
this particular agent.
0:05
So here the thrombin is initially withdrawn from
0:08
a vial using a non-coring vile axis device.
0:13
It's place.
0:14
Through the norncoring device.
0:17
syringe
0:19
advanced
0:22
and the solution the thrombin solution is gently
0:25
aspirated into the syringe.
0:28
The Second Step would be that the thrombin then becomes reconstituted using
0:31
a liquid diluent compose a buffered
0:34
calcium chloride.
0:36
Now the thrombin is injected into that
0:39
liquid element calcium chloride
0:42
and then aspirated.
0:50
So now this reconstituted thrombin solution is
0:53
then used to hydrate a syringe of
0:56
collagen.
0:57
That solution is mixed back and forth until thickened.
1:06
As it's moved between both syringes, it
1:09
becomes more and more difficult in order
1:12
to trap it in a single syringe.
1:15
The next step is to get the air out.
1:17
from the
1:19
end of the syringe and that's then gently into a
1:22
gauze in order to ensure that the dstat is maintained
1:25
within the entirety of the syringe and
1:28
there is no air.
1:30
Here we see the reconstituted thrombin with
1:33
the collagen in a nice
1:36
Emulsion that almost resembles toothpaste, which
1:39
is the consistency we want to achieve and there is
1:42
no air within the syringe.
1:45
So what we then do is the solution is then
1:48
introduce undulcheson guidance.
1:50
using the provided tip
1:53
It's left to settle inside you and so what
1:56
we do is usually about two-thirds of the solution is
1:59
injected at the site.
2:01
where the introducer is
2:03
so which allows the solution to
2:06
permeate through our track distal to
2:09
our introducer site and then we then
2:12
using about a third of the remaining solution.
2:16
We then begin to withdraw and inject withdraw
2:19
and inject draw and
2:22
Jack and ultrasound guidance. So that tracked actually becomes
2:25
embolized.
