Tracking the SYNTHECEL patch for brain lining repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tracks how well a special patch called SYNTHECEL works when used to repair the protective lining of the brain during surgery. It helps researchers learn more about the patch's safety and effectiveness in real-world use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 that may hold a piece of skull in place after brain surgery, compared to the traditional metal screws and plates. It might offer a simpler and potentially safer way to reattach the bone.
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 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 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.
