 SurgiWrap® Bioresorbable Adhesion Barrier Film is a transparent bioresorbable polymer film which is designed to separate opposing tissue during the critical period of peritoneal healing.
Due to its protracted resorption the polymer film provides an effective barrier function thus minimizing the formation of adhesions between the device and the opposing viscera.
Adhesion formation is a postsurgical sequelae of visceral tissue repair following surgical abdominal/pelvic procedures. The clinical significance of postoperative adhesions is associated by many complications which includes:
- Pelvic or Abdominal Pain
- Fertility Impairment in Women
- Bowel Obstruction
- Complication in Surgical Reentry
There is a substantialy high risk for patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic reoperations as adhesion formation resulting from previous surgical procedures may complicate the reentry by:
- Extended operating time due to surgical difficulties and adhesiolysis
- Substantial blood loss
- Incidential/inadvertent enterotomies
- Entercutaneous fistulas
- Resection of damaged tissue
Besides the surgical priniciples in handling serosal tissue the accepted solution for preventing/
reducing post-operative adhesions is to physically separate the opposing tissues throughout the critical healing process. Thus the tissue may regenerate without interconnective attachment.
- Separate Opposing Tissues
- Maintain Surgical Dissection plane
- Prevent Formation of Adhesions
- Reinforce Soft Tissues
