Approval for revision of product labeling to update information that is to be provided to patients and physicians about the risks associated with use of seprafilm®. The revisions include contraindication statements regarding use of seprafilm® in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to seprafilm® and against use of seprafilm® being wrapped directly around a fresh anastomotic suture or staple line. Additional product labeling includes new warnings regarding the use of seprafilm® in patients with infections in the abdominopelvic cavity, patients with abdominopelvic malignancies, the placement of seprafilm® in locations other than directly associated with the surgical incision lines, use in patients with ongoing local and/or systemic inflammatory cell responses, seprafilm® use in the presence of other implants, and use in patients requiring re-operation within a 4 week, post-operative period. Furthermore, the change of a current precaution to a warning regarding potential foreign body reactions to seprafilm® was identified. Finally, the current precaution noting that safety and effectiveness information for use of seprafilm® in pregnant women has been revised to specifically include pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section surgical procedures.
