Abstract
The composite prosthesis comprises a prosthetic fabric having a three-dimensional structure separating two surfaces, one of which is open to post-surgical cell colonization. The composite prosthesis further comprises at least one film of a collagenous material linked to the other surface of the prosthetic fabric. The composite prosthesis may be used to prevent post-surgical adhesion.
