From: Evaluation of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator in adhesion prevention and neoangiogenesis in a rat experimental adhesion model

Tenacity

0) None

1) Adhesions essentially fell apart

2) Adhesions lysed with traction

3) Adhesions required sharp dissection

Type

0) None

1) Filmly, no vessels (transparent)

2) Dense, no vessels (translucent)

3) Dense, vascular, small vessels

4) Dense, vascular, big vessels

Extent (percentage of silastic surface covered by adhesions)

0) – 0%

1) – <25%

2) – <50%

3) – <75%

4) – >75%
