A new clinical study finds the use of a sealant film “encouraging” in the prevention of CSF leaks.
UK surgical sealant manufacturer Tissuemed Ltd. has announced the publication of a new clinical paper in World Neurosurgery relating to its self-adhesive dural sealant film products. Written by Paolo Ferroli, Ph.D., professor Giovanni Broggi and coworkers at the Carlo Besta Institute in Milan, the retrospective study details 119 patients who underwent elective neurosurgery. All patients received TissuePatchDural to reinforce dural closure following identification of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak after routine dural closure.
