Cow collagen patch for dural tear repair
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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 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 studies whether repairing a rotator cuff tear using a patch made from human donor skin improves healing and shoulder function. It is for people with certain types of degenerative tears that can be fully repaired by surgery.
