Illustration of the surgical protocols. The two procedures involve placement of hyaluronan (HA) films (left) or application of in situ–crosslinking HA gels (right) to the injured area on the rat uterine horns. One suture was placed 5 mm above the injury to keep the two injured sites well contacted. Two surrounding ties were placed to stabilize the position of the films. (For the gel application procedure, the postclosure injection of hydrogel is not illustrated.)
