Study of Tutopatch in skull surgery after craniotomy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a patch called Tutopatch used during craniotomy, a surgery that opens part of the skull. The goal is to gather more information about how well it works after it is already approved for use.

This trial is testing a new, dissolvable bone glue to fix bone flaps back in place after skull surgery. It may help people who need a planned skull procedure (craniotomy) in the upper part of the head.
This trial tests a new bone glue called TETRANITE to see if it works as well as metal screws and plates for reattaching a piece of skull after brain surgery. It may help avoid the need for metal hardware.
This trial tests a special 3D bone graft material to repair skull defects after brain surgery. It may help people who need a strong, custom-fit implant to protect their brain.
This study is a registry that collects information from patients who have surgery to repair the dura (the tough outer layer of the brain) using a product called SYNTHECEL. The purpose is to track how well the product works in real-world use.
This trial compares two types of tissue patches (from the thigh or temple) used to repair the floor of the skull after pituitary tumor surgery. It helps prevent brain fluid leaks after the operation.
This study uses a special ultrasound test to see how blood flow in the brain changes after you have surgery to replace a piece of your skull with a PEEK implant. It may help doctors understand if the surgery affects blood flow.
