Purpose: To determine the efficacy of a temperature-sensitive poloxamer/alginate mixture (Guardix-SG) for reducing adhesions after blepharoplasty in rabbit models.

Methods: Thirty-six intact eyes of 18 rabbits were randomly designated to 2 groups, and primary blepharoplasty was performed on both the upper eyelids of the 18 rabbits. Sterile cotton soaked in 1 N NaOH was used to produce chemical tissue damage to experimentally induce eyelid adhesion, which was followed by adhesiolysis in 2 weeks.
