The formation of postoperative adhesions poses a major complication in surgery, especially in the treatment of tendon, where adhesions can result in an alteration of the biomechanical and gliding properties, impeding a proper functioning of the tendon. Current treatments to prevent adhesions in the tendon are mainly based on the use of mechanical barriers which isolate the tendon and prevent fibrin deposition. Despite the positive results in preclinical models, these results have not been translated to clinics. Thus, in this study we propose a porcine peritoneum xenograft as an alternative antiadhesion barrier which integrates a basal membrane, since the presence of a basal membrane together with an epithelium or mesothelium layer prevents the formation of adhesions
