Flurasep™-Medical Device Type 3
Use of fluorocarbons for PREVENTION OF SURGICAL ADHESIONS.

Large unmet medical need. Device is an inert substance and hence very safe. Provided in a 50ml spray gel. Easy to use, no refrigeration necessary, and efficacious. Inflammation or trauma can cause tissues to bond to other tissues or organs(much like the process of forming scat tissue).The effects of such scar formation and tissue adhesion include female infertility, arthritic joints, repeated surgeries to remove abdominal and thoracic adhesions and a variety of other medical conditions that often remain undiagnosed Currently used in the field of ophthalmic surgery as a tool for maneuvering intraocular tissues and as a short or medium-term vitreous substitute. The low surface tension of PDF provides for a mechanism that allows it to spread rapidly and evenly throughout the aqueous environment, leaving a fine film between the layers of tissues, reducing inflammation and speeding the healing process and thus reducing adhesions. Estimate sales could reach $400-500 million annually.
