Adhesion Formation:
The mean adhesion formation rate for all barriers with reported data was
77.87% (control 98.31%). An adhesion formation rate of 100.00% was
demonstrated with COSEAL, REPEL-CV (control 100.00%), Silicone Rubber,
Polyglycolic Acid Mesh (control 100.00%), and Porcine and Polyester
Gelation Sheet. Seprafilm had an adhesion formation rate of 95.83%
(control 94.12%) followed by Cova CARD (78.95%) and PTFE (37.31%;
control 100.00%). Polyisoprene Blue Band Strips was the only barrier to
have no adhesion formation (0.00%). The remaining four barriers did not
have data regarding the adhesion formation rate.
