Procedural Area: Dural Repair
Achieve a strong dural seal.
Made of soft, regenerative material, the Biodesign Dural Graft is a natural scaffold that communicates with your patient's body, signaling it to remodel the dura with your patient's own cells.
Biodesign gently creates a strong seal that helps prevent CSF leaks, with reported leak rates as low as 2%.
Though the Biodesign Dural Graft is remarkably soft and flexible, it is still made from the same strong and durable material as all Biodesign products.
