Adept 4% Icodextrin Solution for Irrigation - Barrier, absorbable, adhesion prevention

Intended purpose

ADEPT is intended for use as an intraperitoneal instillate for the reduction of adhesions following gynaecological laparoscopic surgery, and should be used as the irrigant during the course of that surgery.

Functional description

ADEPT performs its function through a physical effect by providing a temporary separation of peritoneal surfaces by hydro-flotation. This minimises tissue apposition during the critical period of fibrin formation and mesothelial regeneration following surgery, thereby providing a barrier to adhesion formation. ADEPT is administered into the peritoneal cavity during abdominal surgery, being used as an irrigant solution during the course of surgery.
