Collagen membrane for repairing the brain or spinal cord covering
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a membrane made from cow collagen that surgeons can sew into place to repair a tear in the dura, the tough layer covering the brain or spinal cord. It collects information on how well the membrane works in everyday medical practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tear or defect in the dura, the protective layer around your brain or spinal cord, that needs surgical repair.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- If you could become pregnant, you are not currently pregnant or nursing.
- You are not allergic to products made from cows (bovine materials).
- You are able to speak and understand English, and can give your own consent.

This study is testing a special collagen patch (called Dura Membranes) used by surgeons to repair tears in the outer covering of the brain or spinal cord. If you need this type of repair and don't have a cow collagen allergy, you may be able to join.
This study tests a special patch made from cow collagen (a natural protein) that doctors place over a tear in the dura, the tough outer lining of the brain or spinal cord. The patch is designed to help the dura heal after surgery.
This trial tests a special patch called DuraMatrix-Onlay Plus that helps repair the protective covering of the brain (the dura mater). It may be an option if you need this type of repair during surgery.
This trial tests a new collagen membrane (FormaAid®) for repairing gum and bone damage from gum disease. It may help people with deep gum pockets and bone loss who are not smokers and have well-controlled health conditions.
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 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.
