Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An adhesion-preventing material having a high adhesion-preventing effect has been demanded. An adhesion-preventing material including a sterilized biocompatible sponge-like laminate, wherein the sponge-like laminate comprises a sponge-like first layer and a sponge-like second layer each of which is at least partially crosslinked with a curing agent and comprises a low-endotoxin alginic acid monovalent metal salt, the alginic acid monovalent metal salt in the first layer has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 2,000,000, the alginic acid monovalent metal salt in the second layer has a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,000,000, the weight average molecular weights are measured by a GPC-MALS method after a decrosslinking treatment, and the weight average molecular weight of the alginic acid monovalent metal salt in the first layer is higher than that in the second layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preventing an adhesion, comprising applying a sterilized biocompatible sponge-like laminate that includes first and second sponge-like layers containing low-endotoxin monovalent metal salts of alginic acid which are at least partially crosslinked with a curing agent, wherein a weight average molecular weight of the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid in the first layer is 10,000-2,000,000, a weight average molecular weight of the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid in the second layer is 1,000-1,000,000, the weight average molecular weights are measured by GPC-MALS method following a decrosslinking treatment, and the weight average molecular weight of the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid in the first layer is higher than the weight average molecular weight of the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid in the second layer, to a subject in need of adhesion prevention. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein either one of the first layer and the second layer comprises a curing agent. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first layer and the second layer comprises a curing agent. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the total amount of the low-endotoxin monovalent metal salts of alginic acid used in the first layer and the second layer is in a range of 0.1 mg/cm 2 -3 mg/cm 2 . 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the endotoxin content of the monovalent metal salts of alginic acid in the first layer and the second layer is 500 EU/g or less. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid in each of the first layer and the second layer are is selected from the group consisting of sodium alginate and potassium alginate. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the curing agent in each of the first layer and the second layer is at least one metal ionic compound selected from the group consisting of CaCl 2 , CaSO 4 , ZnCl 2 , SrCl 2 , FeCl 3 and BaCl 2 . 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sponge-like laminate is pressed. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sponge-like laminate is mixed or impregnated with a drug.
