Learn about our products for:
- Spine Surgery: Oxiplex®, Oxiplex®/SP Gel, and MediShield™ gel
- Peritoneal / Gyn Surgery: ETHICON Intercoat™
For peritoneal and abdominal surgery, our Intercoat™ absorbable barrier gel is designed to help reduce the incidence, extent and severity of postoperative adhesions.
FzioMed products are comprised of exclusive formulations of two well-characterized and biocompatible medical polymers – carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polyethylene oxide (PEO). We start with this core science and manufacture gel products that doctors use during surgery to separate and protect traumatized tissues where postoperative adhesions and pain could potentially form.
Clinical trials with FzioMed products have shown that coating tissues in this way can safely reduce postoperative pain, prevent the formation of adhesions, and improve patient outcomes.2,3,4
Our products have a long history of safe and effective use in a variety of surgery procedures. Our goal is to provide tissue protection without compromise.
