ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for reducing adhesions associated with post-operative surgery. The present method comprises administering or affixing a polymeric composition comprising chain-extended poly(hydroxy-carboxylic acid)/poly(oxyalkylene) ABA triblocks to a site in the body which has been subjected to trauma, e.g. by surgery, excision or inflammatory disease. In the present invention, the polymeric material provides a barrier to prevent or reduce the extent of adhesions forming.
