First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for forming an oxidized cellulose multi-layered bioresorbable film for use as an adhesion-preventative barrier, comprising the steps of:
- spreading a cellulose film onto a surface;
combining at least one layer of a cellulose fabric material with said cellulose film with an adhesive material capable of oxidation to form a bioresorbable material to form a multi-layered film;
oxidizing the multi-layered film; and
sterilizing the multi-layered film.

15. A method for forming an oxidized cellulose multi-layered bioresorbable film for use as an adhesion-preventative barrier, comprising the steps of:
-
spreading a cellulose film onto a surface;
combining at least one layer of a cellulose fabric material with said cellulose film using an oxidizable carbohydrate adhesive material capable of oxidation to produce a bioresorbable material to form a multi-layered film;
oxidizing the multi-layered film in the presence of nitrogen dioxide for between 4 and 48 hours at a temperature of between 20°
C. and 35°
C. and a pressure of between 1 and 5 atmospheres; and
sterilizing the multi-layered film. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
