摘要:
An anti-adhesion membrane is placed onto an implant introduced into a surgicalsite of a patient to prevent post-surgical adhesions between the implant andsurrounding tissue. The implant may comprise either biological material, suchas a transplanted organ, or non-biological material such as a medical device.The membrane may be applied in a variety of ways. In one example, a membraneaccording to the present invention is shrink-wrapped around a pace-maker. Inanother example, a breast implant is spray-coated or dipped with the membranematerial.
