摘要
ADCON(R)-L and ADCON(R)-T/N are two bioabsorbable adhesion barrier gels designed to inhibit post-operative fibrosis around the dura and nerve structure. Two ADCON(R) products were evaluated in animal models emulating their use in neurosurgery. In all studies ADCON(R)-L and ADCON(R)-T/N were safe and effective barriers to post-operative peridural and perineural fibrosis.
