Implantation of a tissue-binding material in the female genital tract: a preliminary study on oviduct occlusion and the prevention of adhesions in baboons.
Studies conducted in adult female baboons have documented the potential usefulness of a new alloplastic substance, Proplast, when applied to the genital tract of the human female. Two areas of likely application are in the prevention of adhesions in infertility surgery and in reversible or permanent tubal occlusion.
