Dural Sealant System is a synthetic, absorbable surgical sealant specifically designed to create a watertight closure over dural defects. It is often used in neurosurgical procedures to prevent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, which is a critical concern in such surgeries.
Description:
- Composition: The sealant is composed of synthetic materials such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers.
- Application: The product is delivered in a liquid form and applied directly to the dura, where it polymerizes to form a flexible, biocompatible seal.
- Absorbability: It is fully absorbable over time, eliminating the need for removal.
- Use Case: It is often used in combination with sutures or grafts to enhance closure strength and prevent post-surgical complications.
Advantages:
- Effective Watertight Seal: Prevents cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, reducing the risk of infection and post-surgical complications.
- Biocompatible and Absorbable: Safe for the patient with no long-term residue; it is naturally absorbed by the body over time.
- Flexible and Durable: Forms a pliable seal that adapts to the movement of surrounding tissues without breaking.
- Easy Application: Delivered in a liquid form with a user-friendly applicator for precise placement.
- Minimizes Reoperation Risk: Reduces the need for additional surgeries by ensuring reliable closure.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for various types of dural repairs, including cranial and spinal procedures.
This system is an advanced solution for enhancing the success and safety of neurosurgical procedures.
