<p>Method for the prevention and inhibition of adhesions between tissues comprising the use of fluorocarbons are disclosed. The method provides for the introduction of a fluorocarbon into the surgical site of a mammalian body, such as a human, to minimize friction and enhance the mobility of the surrounding tissues and organs. The fluorocarbons introduced may be in various forms including liquid and emulsions, and provides a coating, film or barrier thereby reducing the surface tension associated after surgery. The subject invention further discloses the use of perfluorodecalin as a preferred fluorocarbon compound used as the primary anti-adhesion agent.</p> |
