Cost and economics of adhesions
Hosp Med.
2004 Jun.
Abstract
The burden and cost of adhesions is considerable. Products are available which might reduce these problems. The costing of these products will have a significant effect on their usage. A low-cost product with a 25% efficacy could potentially generate a cost saving of 55 million Pounds over a 10-year period in the UK.
