Abstract
ADCON-L Anti-Adhesion Barrier Gel is a resorbable gel that is placed into the site of a laminectomy before surgical closure and acts as a barrier to scar and surgical adhesions. The scientific rationale for ADCON products is based on certain properties of glial cells and the nature and role of the basal lamina. ADCON-L was evaluated in laminectomy models using rats and rabbits and a discectomy model in dogs. In all studies, ADCON-L was an effective barrier to peridural scar and surgical adhesions.
