Dr. Badia Explains Why He Uses Surgiwrap Adhesion Barrier Film after a Capsulectomy

Description

Dr. Alejandro Badia, in an operating room, performs arthroscopic surgery on a patient with extensive scarring following injuries to his extensor tendon. He highlights the challenges posed by scarring and mentions that there is also entrapment of a sensory nerve in the radial dorsal area. To address the scarring, Dr. Badia uses a polylactic acid adhesion barrier, MAST bio, to create a protective layer between the skin and tendon, preventing adhesions and facilitating movement. He explains that the barrier breaks down safely in the body, which he humorously ties to biochemistry concepts. Post-surgery, the patient will be immobilized and encouraged to begin finger movement in recovery, underscoring the importance of utilizing advanced technologies in patient recovery.
