  • Publication number: 20240226368
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an anti-adhesion composition for wound protection in the form of a film comprising a biocompatible mucoadhesive polymer and a specific swellable polymer. The present disclosure relates to an anti-adhesion agent that is flexible and adheres appropriately to an application site by improving crumbling and adhesion properties, which are problems of existing film-type anti-adhesion agents.

  • Publication number: 20240226390
    Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-adhesion agent composition which uses a high molecular weight compound having biocompatibility and an oil derived from animals, plants, and minerals so as to improve low viscosity and low strength, which are problems of existing anti-adhesion agents, and prevent adhesion between living tissues. The anti-adhesion composition according to the present disclosure performs a physical barrier function through simple mixing of a polymer material, serving as a physical barrier in its anti-adhesion effect, and a solvent, and remains in the body for a certain period of time, then decomposes, absorbs, and is excreted. The anti-adhesion composition does not interfere with the healing of the wound after surgery, and exhibits an excellent effect of convenient application to the surgical site.
