Novel nanofabricated dura substitute effectively repairs dural defects independent of defect size in a canine duraplasty model

Dural substitutes are commonly utilized to repair dural defects incurred during routine neurosurgical procedures. The present study aims to examine whether the resorption rate of a novel non-biologic, fully-resorbable nanofabricated dura substitute is suitable for effective repair of large dural def...
