Polyethylene Glycol Polymer Surgical Sealant

**Semantic type:** Biomedical or Dental Material

**Definition:** A resorbable hydrogel-based formulation containing synthetic, derivatized polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers, with anti-adhesion activity upon wound application during surgery. Upon application of the PEG polymer surgical sealant to the wound during surgery using a spray, the PEG polymers polymerize and adhere to the wound tissue, thereby forming a protective barrier. This prevents post-operative adhesion formation.

**Synonyms:** - Adhibit - PEG Polymer Surgical Sealant
