I am about to have surgery for adhesions too and my surgeon is going to
wrap my intestines in seprafilm as well. I have researched it a little
on the web. I suggest looking up Genzyme which is the company that
makes seprafilm. I think that it is http://www.genzyme.com or try
http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/2D082.htm This site had some info on
Seprafilm too. Hope this helps.
