Abstract
In one aspect, methods are described herein employing particle compositions operable to form composite membrane for inhibition of post-surgical adhesions. Briefly, a method of treating a surgical site comprises contacting the surgical site with a particle formulation comprising targeting particles and scaffolding particles. The targeting particles and scaffolding particles are crosslinked to provide a composite membrane at the surgical site, wherein formation of post-surgical adhesions are inhibited by the composite membrane.
