Gel adhesion barrier AntiAD© SP

spinal cord surgery

All Synthetic No Animal Derived Components Provides Adhesion Barrier Promotes Healing and Restored Flexibility Postoperative spinal adhesions compress adjacent tissues and anatomical structures. They can cause dural tethering and damage to the nerve root, leading to neuronal atrophy. Epidural fibrosis following lumbar surgery is a leading cause of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. Subsequent surgeries are more difficult when adhesions are present, often leading to further nerve root damage and debilitating complications. AntiAD® SP is the surgeon's aid for preventing or minimizing post-op adhesions. What is AntiAD SP? • A biocompatible, resorbable, flowable gel composed of totally synthetic auto-crosslinked sodium Hyaluronic Acid (closely mimicking hyaluronic acid that is naturally found in the body). • A physical barrier which redirects fibroblast migration on and around neural and tendinous structures while promoting healing. • An agent which facilitates restoration of the extra-cellular matrix, reduces post-op pain and speeds patient recovery. • A cost effective dosage in sterile kits for easy, controlled application. • AntiAD® SP comes in 3 ml sterile dose in syringe with special catheter applicator. • Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance produced within the human body. AntiAD is the closest synthetic to the natural substance but having no animal derived, no microbial and no recombinant components.
