## Indications for Use

The Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane is indicated for use as a dural substitute for the repair of dura mater.

## Device Story

DuraMatrix is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, resorbable membrane matrix derived from purified bovine Achilles tendon type I collagen. Designed for neurosurgical applications, it serves as a dural substitute to repair dura mater defects. The device is flexible, conformable, and possesses mechanical strength allowing for application as an onlay or via suturing. It is intended for single use by neurosurgeons in clinical settings. By providing a scaffold for tissue repair, it facilitates the restoration of the dural barrier, potentially reducing cerebrospinal fluid leakage and promoting healing.

## Clinical Evidence

Effectiveness supported by a large-scale animal study and a clinical study. Biocompatibility confirmed via testing per ISO 10993-1 and FDA Blue Book Memorandum G95-1.

## Technological Characteristics

Resorbable membrane matrix; material: highly purified type I collagen from bovine Achilles tendon; form: flexible, nonfriable, conformable sheet; supplied sterile/non-pyrogenic; single-use. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

A dura substitute is a sheet or material that is used to repair the dura mater (the membrane surrounding the brain).

## Predicate Devices

- Dura-Guard® Dural Repair Patch ([K950956](/device/K950956.md))
- DuraGen® Dural Graft Matrix ([K982180](/device/K982180.md))

### Description of the Device

The Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane is a white, nonfriable, conformable, resorbable, membrane matrix engineered from highly purified type I collagen derived from bovine Achilles tendon. The device has a thickness similar to that of native dura. It is flexible and conforms to the contours of the defect site. The unique conformability properties of the membrane combined with its mechanical strength allow the membrane matrix to be applied as an onlay membrane or sutured in place. The Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane is supplied sterile, non-pyrogenic, in various sizes, and for single use only.

### Intended Use

The Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane is indicated for use as a dural substitute for the repair of dura mater.

# Summary/Comparison of Technical Characteristics

Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane and its predicates have similar technological characteristics. In particular, the Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane and its predicates

{1}------------------------------------------------

K040888 2/2

are similar with respect to intended use, material, form, sizes, thickness, physical integrity, porosity and conformability.

# Safety

Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane has been evaluated by a number of tests to assess its safety/biocompatibility. The device passed all applicable FDA Blue Book Memorandum G95-1and ISO 10993-1 testing for the biological evaluation of medical devices.

## Effectiveness

The results of a large-scale animal study and clinical study support the effectiveness of using a membrane material as a dura substitute in the repair of dura mater. The characteristics of the Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane meet the design requirements for an effective dura substitute.

# Conclusion

The results of the in vitro product characterization studies, in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility studies, large-scale animal study and clinical study show that the Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane is safe and substantially equivalent to Dura-Guard® Dural Repair Patch and DuraGen® Dural Graft Matrix.
