An adhesion barrier
or anti-adhesion is a medical device implanted to minimize adhesion by
separating the internal tissues and organs during healing. Adhesion formation
is a common post-surgical problem affecting more than 50 percent of patients
undergoing surgeries. Adhesion can cause serious issues such as bowel
obstruction, infertility, and chronic abdominal pain. General/abdominal
surgery, pelvic/gynecological surgery, and other surgical procedures are the
major applications where adhesion barriers can be used.
