Adhesion barriers are highly used in healthcare for better healing after second-look surgeries. They are medical implants that reduce the scarring of abnormal tissues by separating organs and internal tissues. Moreover, there are several postoperative complications involved in intra-abdominal surgeries, including postoperative ileus, severe pain, and pelvic adhesion. In addition, the pelvic adhesion may result in infertility, pelvic pain gastrointestinal upset, and affects the quality of life of patients.

Among women, gynecological surgery is the main cause of urologic injuries, such as bladder injury that is caused during the suprapubic trocar insertion or lower uterine exposure during hysterectomy. Post gynecological surgeries, the inert physical barriers facilitate the separation of the serosal surface from the trauma part and thus prevent adhesion formation. The growing incidence of gynecological surgeries leads to the increasing demand for the adhesion barriers for improving healing by preventing the adhesion between organs and tissues.

The increasing elderly population possesses a high susceptibility rate to chronic abdominal disorders and diseases. According to a study, it is found that around 43.8% aging above 60 undergoes intra-abdominal surgery. Therefore, the increase in consumption of the adhesive barriers to providing them better healing with reduced postoperative complications.

Collagen-Based Adhesive Barriers

Collagen is used in meshes and products reduces abdominal adhesions after surgery, and ensures higher efficacy. In addition, the collagen sheets are bioabsorbable membranes that imitate scaffolds for the formation of new cells. Moreover, collagen sheets minimize the postoperative pericardial adhesions and facilitate seamless integration post operation in 24 weeks bearing resemblance to native pericardial membranes.

Hence, the growing elderly population and surging prevalence of inter-abdominal surgical treatment drives the demand for adhesive barriers to improve healing.
