At FzioMed, our barrier gel for adhesion prevention after spinal decompression and other types of spine surgery is #1 worldwide. It is available under the brand names Oxiplex®, Oxiplex/SP® Gel, Interpose® and MediShield™. 1,2
The flowable gel is supplied sterile in a 3mL syringe with a flexible applicator. It is placed at sites of tissue injury in the epidural space to serve as a temporary mechanical barrier separating opposing tissue surfaces.
Application of the adhesion barrier gel during spine surgeries; such as, lumbar laminectomy or laminotomy is simple and takes only seconds. The gel coats and isolates nerve fibers and dura, serving as a protective physical barrier that can reduce the formation of epidural fibrosis (adhesions) and can limit the exposure of nerves to biochemical irritants produced during surgery that may cause pain.
The #1 adhesion barrier gel for spine surgery worldwide is made by FzioMed and available under the brand names Oxiplex®, Oxiplex/SP® Gel, Interpose®, and MediShield™. Made with our patented medical polymers, FzioMed adhesion barriers are the first choice of spine surgeons for protecting outcomes.
