Neuro-Patch®

Neuro-Patch® is a type of fine fibred microporous fleece manufactured from a highly purified polyesterurethane. The fine fibred microstructure supports the rapid infiltration of connective tissue cells. [5,9]

Advantages

  • High liquid tightness of the implant prevents CSF leakages [1,2,3]
  • Tissue tolerant [4,5]
  • High tensile strength of the implant prevents suture pull out [2,6]
  • Good suturability [2]
  • Adaptable to anatomical structures [1,2,7]
