Since 1995, we have been using the Neuro-Patch--a fibrillar microporous polyesterurethane produced by B. Braun Surgical GmbH Melsungen. We have compared the Neuro-Path with the until very recently used autologous and homologous tissues from June 1995 to December 1996. According to the results of study, Neuro-Path appears to be the most suitable replacement material for duraplasty for both practical (no inflamation, CSF fistula appeared) and ethical reasons.
