SurgiWrap® Adhesion Barrier Film

MAST Biosurgery's polymer material is made from an amorphous bioresorbable copolymer, 70:30 Poly(L-lactide-co-D, L-lactide). This PLA polymer combination is a synthetic match to the natural lactic acid produced in the body. As an inert material, the body accepts the polymer and processes it through the normal channels of bulk hydolysis, followed by further breakdown in the liver into CO² and H₂O. PLA and similar resorbable materials have been used in surgical implants and sutures for over thirty years.

Indications for Use

1. Separate opposing tissues and prevent the ingrowth of scar tissues and the formation or reformation of adhesions immediately adjacent to the barrier film.
2. Aid in the reoperation procedures by promoting the formation of a surgical dissection plane immediately adjacent to the barrier film.
3. Promote the formation of a surgical dissection plain to include the following anatomic regions:
         a. Pericardium, epicardium, and retrosternal
         b. Peritoneum, peritoneal cavity, bowels, cecum, organs
         c. Ob/Gyn (e.g. Female pelvic, reproductive organs, ovaries, uterus, uterine tube, etc.)
4. Reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists, or for the repair of hernia or other fscial defects that require the addition of a reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical result. To be used wherever temporary wound support is required. This includes but is not limited to the following procedures: vaginal prolapse repair, colon and rectal prolapse repair, reconstruction of the pelvic floor and sacral and colposuspension.
