NCIt synonyms : Oxiplex/AP Gel;
NCIt definition : An isotonic, sterile, absorbable adhesion barrier gel composed of polyethylene oxide
and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, with protective activity. Upon application of a
single layer into the uterine cavity at the end of any hysteroscopic surgery, the
absorbable adhesion barrier gel may provide a protective barrier which protects the
traumatized tissue and allows for healing. This gel may therefore prevent the formation
of post-surgical intrauterine adhesions.;
