(“Fziomed” or the “Company”), a recognized global leader in post-surgical adhesion prevention with a best-in-class synthetic absorbable gel technology platform, today announced that the Company has initiated commercialization of Oxiplex® gel in the United States, indicated to reduce postoperative leg pain and neurological symptoms in adult patients undergoing lumbar spine procedures. Oxiplex is the first and only FDA-cleared intraoperative gel designed specifically for this indication.

“We are proud to introduce Oxiplex to the United States, marking an important step in expanding patient access to our proven dual-polymer technology,” said Ryan Bledsoe, vice president of marketing and market access at Fziomed. “This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting surgeons with innovative solutions that improve patient outcomes and advance surgical care.”

Fziomed’s Oxiplex is a clear, absorbable, safe and easy-to-use gel that is applied directly to the nerves and surrounding tissues during surgery immediately before closure. In spine surgery, Oxiplex acts as a temporary physical barrier between adjacent tissues and has been shown in multiple peer-reviewed publications to reduce postoperative leg pain and neurological symptoms. Oxiplex gel has been available outside the United States since 2002 and has been used in more than 750,000 spine procedures worldwide for the prevention of postoperative adhesions.
