Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Antiadgezin contains highly purified sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, obtained without the use of genetically modified microorganisms. The gel is a sterile biocompatible, biodegradable, bioabsorbable, pyrogen-free product that does not contain antigens and is non-toxic.

The therapeutic effect of Antiadhesin is due to its ability to create an artificial temporary barrier between damaged tissues, which ensures an effective separation of surfaces during their healing. After application to the area of the operating field, the gel, without spreading, adheres to the anatomical surfaces and forms a viscous lubricating coated surface, which creates conditions for sliding of adjacent damaged surfaces, thereby preventing their sticking together.

Antiadhesin is a biodegradable product, therefore, it separates the contacting surfaces only for a period of up to 7 days - the time of the critical phase of wound healing and postoperative adhesion formation, after which it is completely absorbed. At the same time, it does not have a negative effect on the normally proceeding regeneration processes.

Indications for use

Anti-adhesion gel Antiadgezin is used to prevent adhesion after surgical interventions on organs and tissues with serous coating, such as the membranes of the spinal cord and brain, abdominal cavity, joints, tendon sheaths, pericardial cavity, pleural cavity, testicular membranes, nasal cavity, middle ear cavity.

The anti-adhesion gel can be used in any operations involving the risk of postoperative adhesions: nasal cavity, middle ear cavity, capsular contracture, joints, tendon sheaths, pericardial cavity, pleural cavity, abdominal organs (intestines, stomach, liver, spleen), membranes spinal cord and brain, pelvic organs (tubes, ovaries, uterus), testicular membranes.

Antiadhesin can be used in operations involving the risk of soft tissue soldering, for example, in operations on the neck, when there is a high probability of scar formation across all layers of the neck.

With breast augmentation, the gel facilitates the placement of breast implants.

In plastic surgery, Antiadgezin is used as a setting gel.

Contraindications

Absolute:

• immune disorders;
• autoimmune diseases;
• contamination or obvious infection at the site of the operation;
• hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose or their salts.

All anatomical surfaces where adhesions are to be prevented are carefully covered with the gel.

Preparing the syringe with gel for work:

1. Observing the rules of asepsis, open the package and introduce the syringe with the application catheter into the sterile area of the operating unit.
2. By turning the syringe body, remove the rubber cap from the luer lock.
