Lyoplant®
Biological, suturable dura substitution
Lyoplant® is a pure collagen implant that is produced from lyophilized bovine pericardium. This highly purified collagen is known for its low propensity to cause immunological reactions. After implantation, Lyoplant® slowly degrades enzymatically and is substituted by body's own connective tissue.
Product Characteristics [1]
- High liquid tightness of the implant prevents CSF leakages
- Tissue tolerant
- High tensile strength of the implant prevents suture pull out
- Good suturability
- Adaptable to anatomical structures
Indication
Lyoplant® is indicated as a dura substitute for the repair of the dura mater in neurosurgery.
