Seprafilm Adhesion Barrier is a temporary adhesion barrier indicated for use in patients undergoing abdomino/pelvic surgery.

It is the only product clinically proven to reduce the incidence, extent and severity of adhesion formation following open abdominal and pelvic surgery.

It serves as a temporary physical barrier that separates potentially adhesiogenic tissue surfaces throughout the critical seven day period during which adhesions can form. See Burden of Adhesive Disease to learn more about Adhesive Disease.
