Overview

Since 2003, we have partnered with Collagen Matrix, Inc. to provide our customers with quality products for the restoration of the dura mater. Our DuraMatrix portfolio offers a solution for your dura substitute needs.
 
Duramatrix is legally manufactured by Collagen Matrix and exclusively distributed by Stryker.

Features and benefits

DuraMatrix is a purified, type I collagen membrane derived from bovine Achilles tendon. It is intended for use as a dura substitute for the repair of dura mater.

  • DuraMatrix has a thickness of approx. 0.3 mm which can be considered similar to the thickness of native dura.
  • The conformability properties of the membrane combined with its mechanical strength allow DuraMatrix to be applied as either an onlay membrane or sutured in place.
  • DuraMatrix offers a balanced resorption that occurs over 6-9 months. 2, 3

DuraMatrix-Onlay is a purified, type I collagen membrane derived from bovine Achilles tendon. It is intended for use as a dura substitute for the repair of dura mater.

  • With a thickness of about 0.6mm, DuraMatrix-Onlay serves as a thinner onlay option than DuraMatrix-Onlay PLUS. 
  • DuraMatrix-Onlay can also be applied with minimal tension sutures if desired.
  • DuraMatrix-Onlay offers a balanced resorption that occurs over 6-9 months.

DuraMatrix Suturable is a collagen dura membrane from purifiedintact bovine dermis tissue. It is intended for use as a dura substitutefor the repair of dura mater.

  • The natural crosslinks inherent in the native bovine collagen are further biochemically reinforced through a proprietary cross-linking process to provide suturable strength. It has been demonstrated to have 74.8% greater suture pullout strength when compared to a competing dura substitute. 1,3
  • Furthermore, this results in a resorption time of 38-40 weeks based on the results of a rabbit duraplasty model,2, 3 while new dura mater is regenerated to replace the membrance.
  • DuraMatrix Suturable shows high suture pull out strength.1, 3 This permits the graft to be firmly anchored to surrounding tissue with minimal risk of membrane tear or detachment

 

DuraMatrix-Onlay PLUS is derived from purified, bovine Achilles tendon. It is intended for use as a dura substitute for the repair of dura mater.

  • In addition to the thick, spongy texture, this fourth generation DuraMatrix product has a non-porous, collagen layer. This layer helps produce a 50% lower liquid permeability rate compared to a competing dura substitute.1, 3
  • DuraMatrix-Onlay PLUS offers a balanced resorption profile that occurs over approximately 8 weeks.2,3
