About

This multicenter, randomized, subject- and evaluator-blinded, active-controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Collabarrier®, a collagen-based adhesion barrier, compared to Guardix-sol in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery for herniated disc or spinal stenosis.

A total of 69 adult patients scheduled for first-time partial laminectomy or discectomy were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either Collabarrier® or Guardix-sol. The investigational device (Collabarrier®) is a gel-type atelocollagen formulation designed to prevent postoperative adhesions by acting as a physical barrier between the dura mater and surrounding tissues.

The primary outcome was the mean MRI Scar Score at 6 weeks postoperatively, assessed by independent evaluators blinded to treatment allocation. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported pain scores using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for low back and leg pain, and functional limitation assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), measured at baseline, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks.
