Use of ADCON in neurosurgery: preclinical review.

Abstract

ADCON-L and ADCON-T/N are two bioabsorbable adhesion barrier gels designed to inhibit post-operative fibrosis around the dura and nerve structure. Two ADCON products were evaluated in animal models emulating their use in neurosurgery. In all studies ADCON-L and ADCON-T/N were safe and effective barriers to post-operative peridural and perineural fibrosis.
