Lyoplant® Dura Substitute

Biological, suturable dura subsitution

Lyoplant Dura Substitute is a pure collagen implant that is produced from lyophilized bovine pericardium. The special lyophilisation (freeze-drying) process ensures that the loose fiber structure of the Lyoplant Dura Substitute is preserved to offer the optimum fibroblastic proliferation.

Advantages

  • Fluid-tight to prevent CSF leakage
  • Absorbable
  • Excellent tissue compatibility
  • Rapid and regular ingrowth of autologous connective tissue
  • Good handling properties such as rapid rehydration, high flexibility and conformance to anatomical structures

Indication

  • Lyoplant Dura Substitute is intended as a dura mater substitute in neurological procedures for soft tissue reconstruction of damaged, impaired, or missing tissure.

Neuro-Patch® Dura Substitute

Synthetic, suturable dura substitution

Neuro-Patch Dura Substitute is a microporous fleece manufactured from highly purified polyester urethane. The fine fibered microstructure supports a rapid fibroblastic proliferation.

Advantages

  • Fluid-tight to prevent CSF leakage
  • The microporous structure allows rapid population of endogenous fibroblasts
  • Well tolerated by tissue
  • Absolute biostability and permanent tensile strength
  • Protection against suture pull-out, even when sutured in place under tension
  • Good modeling qualities and elastisticity

Indication

  • Neuro-Patch Dura Substitute is indicated as a dura mater substitute in neurological procedures for solft tissue reconstruction of damaged, impaired, or missing tissue.
