AbstractWe have evaluated the physical properties and animal efficacy of a hyaluronic acid (HA) based bioresorbable membrane for the prevention of post-surgical adhesions. Test methods were developed to measure the dry and wet tensile properties and ia Xilm tissue adhesiveness of the membranes. The thin membranes were found to have sufficient strength and flexibility in the dry state for surgical handling. When hydrated in buffered saline, the membranes became weaker and more elastic. The membranes exhibited a high degree of tissue adhesiveness and significantly reduced adhesion formation in a rat cecal abrasion model.
