Even with the most painstaking techniques, cornstarch granules used as surgical glove powder are deposited in the abdominal cavity during laparotomy. In tubal reconstructive surgery, aimed at the elimination of fibrous adhesions, this deposition may have undesirable consequences. After a successful operation, starch particles introduced in the abdominal cavity may result in the formation of new adhesions. It is therefore desirable to develop an alternative, completely nonreactive, glove powder.
即使采用最精细的技术，用作手术手套粉末的玉米淀粉颗粒在剖腹手术期间仍会沉积在腹腔中。在旨在消除纤维粘连的输卵管重建手术中，这种沉积可能会产生不良后果。手术成功后，引入腹腔的淀粉颗粒可能会导致形成新的粘连。因此，开发一种完全无反应性的替代手套粉末是很有必要的。
