In a single blind control study using adult rabbits, the effectiveness of locally applied dextran-70 and 1% hyaluronic acid were evaluated in the control of flexor tendon adhesions after laceration of the profundus tendon in Zone II. Dextran-70 proved effective, whereas application of hyaluronic acid did not.
