DePuy Synthes CMF launched SYNTHECEL Dura Repair.
Here are three things to know:
1. The SYNTHECEL Dura Repair is the first commercially available biosynthesized dural replacement derived from cellulose for use in neurosurgery.
2. A study, published in Neurosurgery, examined SYNTHECEL Dura Repair and a control group of commonly used dura substitutes made of bovine collagen and synthetic collagen. Surgeons found a statistically significant difference in favor of SYNTHECEL Dura Repair for both device strength and seal quality.
3. DePuy Synthes CMF, a part of the DePuy Synthes Companies of Johnson & Johnson, focuses on developing implant systems for conditions affecting the face, head, neck and thorax.
