Low molecular weight heparin, heparinoid and hexuronyl hexosaminoglycan sulfate containing adhesion prevention barrier and process.

摘要

An improved adhesion-preventative barrier fabric comprising an oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) fabric (or matrix having equivalent properties) which is drapable, conformable, adherent to body organs, and substantially absorbable within thirty (30) days in the body, which fabric has low molecular weight heparin, heparinoid or hexuronyl hexosaminoglycan sulfate active absorbed thereon, said active being present in a non-toxic, adhesion-preventative, effective amount and potency; and, the process of using said improved barrier fabric or matrix to administer low molecular weight heparin, heparinoid or hexuronyl hexosaminoglycan sulfate to prevent surgical adhesions.
