Studying a new sealant for brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) brain surgery that requires opening the covering of the brain (the dura).
- Your surgery is considered a clean procedure (no infection expected).
- You agree to follow the study's schedule and procedures.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an active infection or a weakened immune system.

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.
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 a new sealant called ArtiFix to close the protective layer around the brain and spinal cord during surgery. It may help prevent fluid leaks and help you recover.
This trial tests a special patch called ArtiFix® that helps seal the protective membrane around the brain or spinal cord after surgery. It is designed for people who need an extra seal during their planned neurosurgery to prevent fluid leaks.
This study follows people who have a brain aneurysm that can be treated using the SEAL device placed from inside a blood vessel. It aims to track how well the treatment works and how safely it can be used in real-world care.
