How SEPRAFILM® Adhesion Barrier Compares

SEPRAFILM is a site-specific adhesion barrier that stays in place without sutures, protecting the underlying viscera during the critical seven-day healing period. Since its introduction in 1996, more than a million patients have received SEPRAFILM; it's the most widely used adhesion barrier.¹ SEPRAFILM is:

• Is proven effective in fields with incomplete hemostasis⁴ 
• Can be layered/is not limited to single layer use
• Sheets can be applied around adjacent tissues and structures
• Is the only adhesion barrier shown to reduce the incidence of adhesive small bowel obstruction requiring reoperation²
• The most widely evaluated adhesion barrier¹ studied in open procedures including colorectal resection, IPAA, C-section, radical pelvic surgery, myomectomy, and other surgeries¹
• The only adhesion barrier indicated for both abdominal and pelvic laparotomy
