What is interceed?

Interceed refers to a biodegradable, absorbable, adhesion barrier product that is used in surgeries. It is made up of oxidized regenerated cellulose, which is derived from cellulose fibers. Interceed serves as a physical barrier to prevent the formation of adhesions (fibrous scar tissue) between tissues and organs after surgery, particularly in gynecological procedures. It is typically placed between the surgical site and the adjacent tissues to prevent adhesion formation, and it dissolves over time within the body. Interceed is considered safe and effective by medical professionals, but as with any surgical product, there are potential risks and side effects, which should be discussed with a doctor before use.
