SELF-SUPPORTING SHEET-LIKE MATERIAL OF CROSS-LINKED FIBRIN FOR PREVENTING POST OPERATIVE ADHESIONS

摘要

The self-supporting sheet-like material of cross-linked fibrin has a regular pore size. It is used as a bio-mechanical barrier for the treatment of internal traumatic lesions, in particular for the prevention of adhesion formation as post-operative complication. In the course of this it can be used either alone or in combination with a fibrin glue acting as a haemostatic agent. Since the material in terms of its composition and general structure is similar to endogenous products, it has, inter alia, an excellent bio-compatibility, bio-degradability and bio-resorbability.
