An anti-adhesion membrane is placed onto an implant introduced into a surgical site of a patient to prevent post-surgical adhesions between the implant and surrounding tissue. The implant may comprise either biological material, such as a transplanted organ, or non-biological material such as a medical device. The membrane may be applied in a variety of ways. In one example, a membrane according to the present invention is shrink-wrapped around a pace-maker. In another example, a breast implant is spray-coated or dipped with the membrane material.

Une membrane anti-adhésion est placée sur un implant introduit dans un site chirurgical d'un patient afin de prévenir les adhésions post-chirurgicales entre l'implant et le tissu environnant. L'implant peut comprendre soit une matière biologique, telle qu'un organe transplanté, soit une matière non biologique telle qu'un dispositif médical. La membrane peut être appliquée de diverses manières. Dans un exemple, une membrane selon la présente invention est enveloppée par rétraction autour d'un stimulateur cardiaque. Dans un autre exemple, un implant mammaire est revêtu par pulvérisation de la matière membranaire ou immergé dans celle-ci.
