Abstract

An adhesion preventive kit and a method of preventing adhesion are provided which have a preventive effect on adhesion in a surrounding part of an edge of an injured or deficient tissue in guided regeneration therapy for an injured tissue. Specifically, the adhesion preventive kit includes: (A) a first membrane of at least two layers having a biodegradable base layer and an adhesion preventive layer provided respectively at outermost surfaces thereof and a second membrane of at least one layer having an adhesion preventive layer provided at an outermost surface thereof; or (B) an adhesion preventive membrane including a biodegradable base layer and an adhesion preventive layer, which membrane has an outermost surface constituted of the adhesion preventive layer and has a tissue sandwiching part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of preventing adhesion between an injured or deficient tissue and a surrounding tissue located in a surrounding part of the injured or deficient tissue in guided regeneration therapy for the injured or deficient tissue comprising:
sandwiching an injured or deficient portion of the injured or deficient tissue by a first membrane and a second membrane, so that the injured or deficient portion is not exposed and the portion is not in physical contact with the surrounding tissue, wherein the first membrane has a biodegradable base layer and an adhesion preventive layer, the adhesion preventive layer being provided at an outermost surface of the first membrane, the first membrane covers the injured or deficient portion so that the biodegradable base layer faces the injured or deficient tissue, and the second membrane has at least one layer having an adhesion preventive layer provided at an outermost surface thereof; and wherein the adhesion preventive layer contains hyaluronic acid and collagen.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the injured or deficient tissue is pericardium, pleura, diaphragm, cerebral dura mater, stomach, esophagus, or a digestive apparatus.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tissue is pericardium, and the surrounding tissue is heart.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesion preventive layer is composed of a sponge.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable base layer contains collagen, polylactic acid, or polyglycolic acid.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable base layer is composed of woven cloth, a nonwoven fabric, a sheet, or a sponge.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable base layer is composed of a collagen nonwoven fabric.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the injured or deficient tissue is separated from the surrounding tissue by at least the adhesion preventive layer.
