Abstract
Experimental studies in rats demonstrated that maize starch powder used as lubricant in surgical gloves induces i.p. granulomatosis with formation of adhesions. The possible use of dextran 70 to minimize these adhesions was investigated. By grading the formation of adhesions, it was found that dextran given i.p. reduced the extent of adhesions.Keywords
