Features:
•Onlay graft: DuraGen® Plus matrix allows the graft to be used without sutures thanks to surface tension alone.
•Conformability: DuraGen® Plus matrix conforms intimately with the complex surfaces of the brain and/or spinal cord.
•Handling: the 30% increased in tensile strenght* allows DuraGen® Plus matrix to offer an easier handling during placement or repositionning.
•Dedicated larger size: large graft of 12.5×17.5cm available for trauma cases and/or decompressive hemicraniectomies.
•Adhesion Barrier: To inhibit post-surgical peridural fibrosis in procedures where nerve roots are exposed.
Features
•Bilayer matrix: Suturable DuraGen® matrix combines the conformability of DuraGen® Plus matrix in addition to its suturability.
•Enhanced graft strength: Suturable DuraGen® matrix features an enhanced strength component (NeuraGen®) providing the graft the possibility of mechanical anchoring for challenging procedures.
For the Neurosurgeon, patients with compromised dural margins present a unique challenge. DuraGen Secure Matrix offers all the benefits of the DuraGen family of products, with an added cellulose microlayer that provides enhanced contact assurance for patients with compromised dural margins. Secure offers six times greater slip resistance than traditional collagen onlay grafts, even under repeated watertight closure can be achieved.
Features
•Cellulose microlayer: The fluid activated cellulose microlayer associated with the conformability of DuraGen® Secure matrix allows to reinforce the contact at the dural margins.
•Resist sideways movement: The DuraGen® Secure matrix’s hydrostatic attraction offers at least 6 times more slip resistance than traditional collagen only grafts.
•Stay in place: The DuraGen® Secure matrix’s hydrostatic attraction enables the graft to stay put at the dural margins even under repeated irrigation or prolonged immersion.
•Compromised dural margins: DuraGen® Secure matrix helps to restore the contact during cases involving compromised dural margins.
DuraSeal® is the cranial sealant that strengthens your repair and supports the body’s natural healing process. With demonstrated superior tissue adherence versus fibrin glue, DuraSeal is engineered for appropriate strength and optimal duration, even in high pressure areas such as posterior fossa. DuraSeal is indicated as an adjunct to sutured dural repair during cranial surgery to provide watertight closure. It is a polymer composed of two solutions, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) ester solution and a trilysine amine solution. When mixed together, these precursors cross link to form a hydrogel sealant that creates a quick and effective watertight seal that lasts both intraoperatively and through the critical healing period.
