INHIBITION OF TENDON ADHESIONS

摘要

The invention provides composition having an osmolality of at least 1200m Osmol for use as a medicament for the inhibition of tendon adhesion formation. The compositions of the invention may comprises a sugar phosphate, such as mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) and/or glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). Composition comprising M6P are particularly favoured. The compositions may improve tendon repair by increasing the quality of replacement tendon formed after injury, and may be well suited to administration by injection.
