Abstract: Provided are methods, devices and compositions for reducing and/or inhibiting postsurgical tissue adhesion using a hydrogel film disposed onto a target tissue, thereby providing an adhesion barrier that remains over said target tissue for a prescribed period of time. In some embodiments, the hydrogel film is formed by the gelation of a pre-gel mixture applied onto the target tissue as a plurality of particles having an average maximum dimension, such as diameter, of at most about 500 ?m. In some embodiments, the hydrogel film has a minimum storage modulus of 100 Pa. In some embodiments, the pre-gel mixture comprises an ECM digest having a collagen to carbohydrate ratio (by mass) of at least 70:1.

Abstract: Control of fabric softener viscosity by increasing the amount of fragrance in the formulation and to thereby influence the amount of fragrance that can be added to the fabric softening formulations. A mixture of a perfume or fragrance chemical and special group of surface active agents is prepared. Thereafter the mixture is added to a fabric softener base formulation to produce the fabric softener consumer product.
