Products
Injectable liquid adhesion barrier for orthopedic surgery
A sterile aqueous polymer-based fluid intended to be injected into joint spaces at the end of orthopedic procedures to form a temporary physical barrier film and reduce intra-articular adhesion formation.
Intraperitoneal liquid adhesion barrier for gynecological and abdominal surgery
A sterile aqueous polymer-based fluid intended for intraperitoneal application in laparoscopy or open laparotomy to form a temporary barrier film and reduce postoperative adhesions.
Investigational liquid adhesion barrier candidates for tendon and spine surgery
Fluid polymer device concepts under development for use in tendon and spine surgery indications to reduce postoperative adhesions.
