Cardiovascular Sciences, Inc., a member of the award winning

the Research Park adjacent to the UCF campus. The company has
developed, with Dr. Kevin Belfield, a technology that promises to
bring a much needed solution to the $6+ billion global market
dealing with post-surgical adhesions and their complications.
During many surgeries, stressed tissues can adhere to each other,
creating a scar that can cause complications from mild discomfort
to significant disability to life threatening obstruction. The
company's second generation material is currently going into
expanded animal trials and further development to widen the range
of applications in which it will be useful.
