ArtiFascia® is an absorbable dural repair graft for the repair of cranial dural defects. ArtiFascia® is a highly flexible, easy to handle, non-friable soft matrix composed of synthetic non-woven fibers and a non-porous film. ArtiFascia® readily conforms to the surface of the wound area and is applied to the dural defect by using sutures.
A sterile device made from synthetic polymers [e.g., expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), ePTFE/elastic fluoropolymer) intended to be used for the temporary or permanent repair or replacement of the dura mater in a recipient during a neurosurgical procedure. Restoration of the dura mater maintains the integrity of the brain and spinal cord, and helps prevent leakage of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This dural graft is typically overlaid on the patient's dura; it is typically supplied in the form of a patch and may be sutured into place.
