Prevention of Postsurgery-Induced Abdominal Adhesions by Electrospun Bioabsorbable Nanofibrous Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-Based Membranes

摘要

Electrospun nonwoven bioabsorbable nanofibrous membranes of poly(lactide-coglycolide) were effective to reduce adhesions at the site of injury using an objective rat model. The membrane acted as a physical barrier but with drug delivery capability. The combined advantages of degradation adjustment, drug-loading capability, and easy placement handling make these membranes potentially successful candidates for further clinical evaluations.
