Sealant tested to help close a spinal fluid leak opening
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a glue-like dural sealant (Adherus™) to help seal and protect the covering around the spinal cord after a planned opening. It may help prevent or reduce problems related to spinal fluid leaking after certain elective spinal surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are scheduled for an elective spinal surgery that includes a planned opening in the dural lining
- Your planned surgery site is clean and uninfected (no active infection or inflammation)
- You can sign consent and agree to follow all follow-up visits and imaging tests
- Your surgeon can bring the dural edges together using standard repair methods

This trial tests a product called CraniSeal, which is used to help seal the covering of the brain (the dura) after surgery. It may lower the risk of fluid leaks after certain types of planned brain surgeries.
This trial tests a new patch called ArtiFix® that helps seal the tough covering (dura) around the brain or spinal cord after surgery. It is for people who need a small, non-emergency repair and who are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
This trial tests a patch called ArtiFix (a kind of sealing sticker) that is placed over the protective lining of the brain or spine during planned surgery to stop fluid leaks. It is designed to help wounds heal properly after surgery.
This study tracks how well Immiseal, a special sealing material, works when applied during brain or spine surgery to prevent fluid leaks from the protective membrane around the brain and spinal cord. You'll be followed after surgery to see how well the sealant performs and if you have any side effects.
This trial tests whether using a sealant after skull base surgery helps prevent spinal fluid leaks. It compares patients who get a sealant with those who don't.
This trial tests whether adding a special patch (duroplasty) during emergency spinal surgery helps people recover from a recent traumatic spinal cord injury. It's for patients who need decompression surgery within 24 hours of injury.
