Dural repair membrane study for brain surgery patients
This trial is testing a special membrane made from cow tissue that is used to repair the tough outer covering of the brain (the dura) during surgery. The goal is to see how well the membrane works in everyday clinical practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must need a piece of material to patch the covering of the brain during surgery, as your doctor would normally do.
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- If you could become pregnant, you must not be pregnant or nursing.
- You must be willing and able to give your permission to be in the study.

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 looks at how well a special patch made from cow collagen works to repair a tear or defect in the dura, the protective layer around your brain or spinal cord. The patch is designed to help the body close the gap during healing.
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 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 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 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.
