Abstract

A biocompatible protection device is disclosed to minimize the postoperative formation of adhesions between adjacent tissue such as between the heart and the sternum thereby facilitating cardiac revision surgeries or to minimize adhesion formation following a bony dissection of a vertebrae.
The device is substantially oblong in shape and has attachment means positioned along the periphery of the device. The device is preferably anchored to the sternum.
