Abstract

Abstract A composite prosthesis (10) and method for limiting the incidence of postoperative adhesions. The composite (10) includes a mesh fabric (12) and a barrier (14) which prevents exposure of the mesh fabric (12) to areas of potential adhesion. The interstices of the mesh fabric (12) are infiltrated by tissue which secures the prosthesis in place. The composite is positioned with the barrier (14) relative to the region of potential adhesion, such as the abdominal viscera.
