ABSTRACT:
The object of this invention is to use a variety of thin membranes, 1.0 to 2.0 mm thick made of any hydrogel polymer, as a temporary cover on organs exposed to air during surgery. The membranes are characterized by a high water content in excess of 85 weight percent, unique biocompatibility, transparency and pliability. These characteristics prevent drying of the organ surface and reduce bacterial contamination of the exposed tissue.
