Abstract
An instrument for the application of an adhesion prophylaxis, particularly a film for endoscopic surgery, includes a circular cylindrical application sleeve for insertion in a trocar cannula or for direct insertion in a pneumoperitoneum. The application sleeve can receive a rod-like film carrier onto which is wound the film-like adhesion prophylaxis. For this purpose an elongated, particularly axial reception area, such as a slot is provided in the front area of the sleeve in which the adhesion prophylaxis is received in interlocking or frictional manner.
