Primary Outcome Measures:
  • safety of intrauterine application of Intercoat [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    women treated by Intercoat following their hysteroscopic procedure were followed for immediate and late adverse effects; fever, increased intrauterine adhesion formation upon follow up and changes in menstrual pattern


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • efficacy of intrauterine application of Intercoat gel in reducing adhesion formation following hysteroscopic treatment for retained products of conception [ Time Frame: 14 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    intrauterine adhesions were graded according to the AFS score upon hysteroscopic follow up 6-8 weeks following initial treatment


Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: September 2009
Study Completion Date: February 2011
Primary Completion Date: November 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Intercoat treatment
women treated by Intercoat gel following hysteroscopy for retained products of conception
 Drug: Oxiplex/AP gel
Intrauterine application of Intercoat following hysteroscopy
Other Name: Intercoat
Placebo Comparator: Control group
No additional treatment following hysteroscopy was performed
 Drug: Normal Saline
No intrauterine application of Intercoat following hysteroscopy

Detailed Description:

Thirty women randomly divided equally into those who received Intercoat following hysteroscopic treatment for retained products of conception (study group) and those who did not receive the gel (controls). Safety and efficacy of the preparation were evaluated.
