Adverse Events Possible complications can occur with any neurosurgical procedure and include cerebrospinal fluid leaks, infection, delayed hemorrhage and adhesion formation. In clinical evaluations involving 1,096 patients, postoperative wound infection rates for Integra’s collagen matrix were reported at approximately the same rate as the control group. Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leaks were reported in 3 of 67 patients who underwent intradural posterior fossa procedures. Macroscopic evaluations revealed minimal adhesion formation only when there was significant disruption of the pia-arachnoid. There were no reports of graft encapsulation, neomembrane formation or foreign body reactions. There were no reports of graft rejection at histology. 1 The Ultra Pure Collagen™ Technology used to manufacture Suturable DuraGen is currently used in the manufacture of artificial skin, absorbable hemostatic sponges and absorbable wound dressings. The manufacturing process for Suturable DuraGen meets US and European standards for animal tissue sourcing, handling and inactivation of spongiform encephalopathy (SE) pathogens. This process involves a treatment with sodium hydroxide that is a recognized method of inactivation of SE pathogens. 1,2 DuraGen, DuraGen Plus, NeuraGen are registered trademarks of Integra LifeSciences Corporation.
