- Figures 1A & 1B
Dissection through skin and subcutaneous tissue. Identification of major vessels is indicated by the black rectangle.
- Figures 2A & 2B
Figures 2A and 2B. (A) DSX is supplied as a kit with blue and clear precursor solutions and a mixing device. (B) It is prepared and applied simultaneously using the applicator.
- Figures 3A & 3B
DSX in situ. (A) Vessel before DSX application. (B) Vessel after DSX application. The application site is precisely identified by the blue color.
- Figures 4A & 4B
Necropsy images. (A) In the untreated control group, major vessels were surrounded by adhesions. (B) In the DSX group, adhesions in the treatment area were minimal, enabling easy mobilization and identification of anatomic structures.
- Figure 5
The extent of adhesion in the DSX group was significantly less than in the control group (mean of 1.3 vs 2.5, P ≤ .05). The scores for OX were not significantly different from controls and varied widely.
- Figure 6
The severity of adhesions in the DSX group was significantly less than in the control group (mean of 1.25 vs 2.8, P ≤ .05). The scores for OX were not significantly different from controls and varied widely.
