Remote Efficacy for Two Different Forms of Hyaluronate-Based Adhesion Barriers

Abstract

In our preclinical models, HA/CMC powder had similar adhesion reduction efficacy to HA/CMC film when applied directly to sites of trauma. In addition, HA/CMC powder reduced adhesions remote from the application site. Importantly, HA/CMC powder did not impair incisional wound healing. On the basis of these results, future investigation of HA/CMC powder is warranted.
