Genta-Foil resorb

Genta-Foil resorb is a **transparent, absorbable collagen foil** for implantation during surgery to act as a temporary barrier between tissues. It is made from *equine collagen* and is impregnated with the **aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin sulphate**[1][4][7][9][10]. The device is designed to prevent tissue adhesions (such as between muscles, tendons, and nerves), provide **local antibiotic prophylaxis**, and facilitate wound healing after trauma or surgical interventions, especially in orthopaedics and hand surgery[3][4][5][6][7][10]. The foil is **biocompatible**, resorbable (no need for removal), naturally cross-linked, and can be easily molded when moistened. The mechanism of action combines mechanical separation to prevent adhesion formation and localized antibiotic action to reduce infection risk[1][4][7][10]. Gentamicin acts bactericidally by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis via binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. The product was developed for surgical infection prevention, tissue regeneration, and integration at implantation sites[1][4][7][9][10].
