Evaluation of Bioresorbable Sheet to Prevent Intra-Abdominal Adhesions in Colorectal Surgeries

May 14, 2009 updated by: MAST Biosurgery, AG

Evaluation of Intra-Abdominal Adhesions in Ileostomy Procedures When Using a Resorbable Polylactide Film (SurgiWrap) in Colorectal Surgeries

Study to investigate and determine the difference between the extent and severity of intra-abdominal adhesions in patients where SurgiWrap film was placed compared to patients with no adhesion barrier inserted.

Hypothesis: Due to the preclinical safety data and clinical case reports in various indications it is anticipated that the surgical sites where the resorbable anti-adhesion barrier SurgiWrap was placed, there will be a reduction of adhesions compared to the control group with no treatment.
