Implantable Osmotic Transport Device Can Reduce Edema After Severe Contusion Spinal Cord Injury

Recent findings from the ISCoPe study indicate that, after severe contusion to the spinal cord, edema originating in the spinal cord accumulates and compresses the tissue against the surrounding dura mater, despite decompressive laminectomy. It is hypothesized that this compression results in restri...
