Gel adhesion barrier Oxiplex/IU®

intrauterine surgery

Oxiplex/IU Adhesion Barrier Gel is a unique formulation of the company’s proprietary biomaterial. It is a flowable gel that is intended to serve as a temporary, absorbable mechanical barrier separating surgically traumatized opposing tissue surfaces in the uterine cavity where adhesions could potentially form. Oxiplex/IU is supplied sterile and ready to use in one 10 mL syringe with a sterile applicator. INTRAUTERINE ADHESIONS Intrauterine (IU) adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form between the inner walls of the uterus, resulting from trauma to the uterus. Any surgical intervention of the uterine cavity can potentially create adhesions. Adhesions can occur even when surgeons use the best techniques, but using mechanical barriers to separate traumatized tissues during the healing period can reduce postoperative adhesions. Many women develop IU adhesions following intrauterine surgery. Although some intrauterine adhesions can be asymptomatic, they can also cause problems such as: Infertility Menstrual cycle abnormalities Pain and discomfort Dysmenorrhea Recurrent pregnancy loss The advantages of using Oxiplex/IU Adhesion Barrier Gel in intrauterine surgery include: Benefits Exceptional safety Designed and indicated for use in intrauterine surgery Ready to use Fast application, thorough coverage Colorless Protects the Procedure Separates and coats tissues Reduces adhesions Optimizes Healing Re-operations can be complicated by adhesions at original operative site Improves Outcomes Less de novo (i.e., new) adhesions
