Table 2.

Hemopatch (PCC) was less adhesiogenic than Veriset (PCOC) in a rabbit model

Adhesion	Size 0 No adhesion	Size 1 1–25% of patch size	Size 2 26–50% of patch size	Size 3 51–75% of patch size	Size 4 76–100% of patch size
PCC	9	0	0	0	0
PCOC	5	0	1 (grade 2)	3 (grade 2)	0

Either Hemopatch or Veriset was applied on a rabbit liver abrasion. Two weeks later adhesion formation was assessed. Grade 0 = no adhesion, 1 = filmy adhesion, blunt dissection possible, 2 = strong adhesion, sharp dissection necessary, 3 = very strong, vascularized adhesion, sharp dissection, damage to tissue not preventable.
