Abstract
The invention relates to a mechanical adhesion prophylaxis for endoscopy, in which a double-walled sheet is rolled onto a sheet applicator and introduced into the body cavity. In the body cavity the double-walled sheet is inflated in the manner of an air cushion and consequently prevents postoperative adhesion of deperitonized areas. The air cushion-like adhesion prophylaxis can be fixed in the body cavity by fixing areas.
