Lyoplant®
Biological, suturable dura substitution
Lyoplant® is a pure collagen implant that is produced from lyophilized bovine pericardium. It is a functional, tearproof and absorbable dura substitute.
Advantages
- High liquid tightness of the implant prevents CSF leakages [1]
- Tissue tolerant [2,3]
- High tensile strength of the implant prevents suture pull out [3,4]
- Good suturability [1,4]
- Adaptable to anatomical structures [1,5]
Indication
Lyoplant® is indicated for the replacement and extension of connective tissue structure in neurosurgery.
