Safety population (n=602) includes as treated so 4 subjects randomized to Sponge but not receiving
any sponges are part of control group for safety analyses.
Serious adverse events occurring in at least 1% of subjects are shown.

Time Points
colon resection, total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, total abdominal colectomy with
ileostomy, total abdominal proctocolectomy (portion of specimen to be extracted via laparotomy), low
anterior resection, sigmoid resection, non-emergent hartmann's procedure, colotomy with polypectomy
distal to hepatic flexure, colostomy takedown through laparotomy (not peristomal) incision, ileo-pouch
anal anastomosis, abdominal perineal resection of the rectum. Laparascopic assisted procedures were
allowed as long as they involved use of a laparotomy incision of 7 cm in length, e.g. hand assisted
procedure or extraction of the specimen. Right hemicolectomy was not allowed.
Detailed Exclusion Criteria: 1) known history of hypersensitivity to gentamicin or bovine collagen, 2)
emergency surgery, 3) Significant concomitant surgical procedure. The following concomitant
procedures were allowed: appendectomy, cholecystectomy, oophorectomy, liver biopsy/wedge resection,
4) Laparoscopic, laparoscopic-assisted, or other minimally invasive surgical approach involving a
laparotomy incision less than 7 cm, 5) Prior laparotomy within the last 60 days, 6) Planned second
laparotomy or colorectal surgical procedure (e.g. colostomy or ileostomy takedown) within 60 days of
this planned first procedure, 7) Preoperative sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock, 8) Abdominal wall
infection/surgical site infection from previous laparotomy/laparoscopy or for any reason, 9) Antibiotic
therapy within the 1 week prior to the date of surgery, 10) Preoperative evaluation suggests intraabdominal process that might preclude full closure of the skin, 11) Ongoing treatment (e.g.
chemotherapy, radiation) for non-colorectal cancer, 12) Recent history of significant drug or alcohol
abuse, 13) Prothrombin time (PT) > 1.5 times upper limit of normal, 14) Pregnant or lactating, 15)
Postsurgical life expectancy 60 days; 16) Refusal to accept medically indicated blood products, 17)
Previous participation in this or any other active Innocoll Gentamicin-Collagen Sponge study, 18)
Participation within 30 days before the start of this study in any experimental drug or device study, or
currently participating in a study in which the administration of investigational drug or device within 60
days is anticipated, 19) Not technically possible to insert 2 sponges above the fascia in the patient (e.g.
very thin patient with small incision), 20) Patients with anterior abdominal wall mesh that is not planned
to be completely removed during the planned procedure, 21) Presence of prosthetic cardiac valve that
might require prophylactic antibiotics other than those called for by the protocol.
