Hyalobarrier

Hyalobarrier is a medical product used in the prevention of adhesions following surgical procedures. It is a gel composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. The gel forms a barrier that prevents tissues from sticking together, thus reducing the risk of adhesions.

Composition

Hyalobarrier is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally present in the body. Hyaluronic acid is a major component of the extracellular matrix, and it plays a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. In Hyalobarrier, hyaluronic acid is cross-linked to form a gel that can be applied during surgery to prevent the formation of adhesions.

Uses

Hyalobarrier is used in various surgical procedures to prevent the formation of adhesions. These include gynecological surgery, general surgery, and orthopedic surgery. The gel is applied to the surgical site before closure to form a barrier that prevents tissues from sticking together.

Mechanism of Action

The hyaluronic acid in Hyalobarrier forms a gel barrier that prevents the formation of adhesions by separating the tissues and preventing them from sticking together. This reduces the risk of complications such as pain, infertility, and bowel obstruction that can occur due to adhesions.

Side Effects

As with any medical product, Hyalobarrier may cause side effects. These can include pain at the application site, infection, and allergic reactions. However, these side effects are rare and the product is generally well tolerated.
