About this trial

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate and establish the safety and efficacy of the ArtiFix® device in subjects scheduled for cranial or spinal surgery that requires Dural repair (membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord). The investigated device will be implanted during the neurosurgical procedure and participants will be evaluated at 30, 120 and 330 days after the procedure.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Subject between the ages of 22-65 (inclusive)

Subject is scheduled for an elective cranial or spinal surgery with a single dural defect that could not be completely repaired by primary suture. The dural defect must not exceed 6cm2 (e.g. defects of sizes 2cm X 3cm, 1cm X 5cm, can be included). The defect can be completely repaired/closed by a dural sealant graft with an overlap of 6 mm with the surrounding intact dura (only 1 graft can be implanted in each subject in a single location).

Subject has undergone imaging (such as, CT or MRI) in the past 6 months before enrolment.

Surgical wound is expected to be Class I/clean.

Disqualifiers

Subject has known hydrocephalus.

Subject is unable to undergo MRI after the surgery.

Subject's life expectancy is less than 12 months.

Significant intraoperative hemorrhage that mandates blood transfusion.
