ABSTRACT:
A method for treating bowel adhesions 20, 22, 24, 26 with an adhesion barrier 56 in the form of a flexible strip 76 of material is provided. The bowel 12, 14 is surgically accessed to expose the affected bowel portions 11, 13, 15, 17 and then the flexible strip 76 of material comprising the adhesion barrier 56 is applied to the bowel surfaces 50, 52, 54, 60, 62 of those portions 11, 13, 15, 17.
