Spine Surgery
The #1 adhesion barrier gel for prevention of complications after spine surgery worldwide is made by FzioMed and available under the brand names Oxiplex®, Oxiplex®/SP and MediShield™. 1
The flowable gel is supplied sterile in a 3mL syringe with a flexible applicator. It is placed at sites of tissue injury in the epidural space to serve as a temporary mechanical barrier separating opposing tissue surfaces.
Application of the gel during surgery is simple and takes only seconds. The gel coats and isolates nerve fibers and dura, serving as a protective physical barrier that can reduce the formation of epidural fibrosis (adhesions) and can limit the exposure of nerves to biochemical irritants that are produced during surgery.
