Provided sterile in 2% benzyl alcohol solution in a glass jar. Used by neurosurgeons during neurosurgical procedures to close the dura mater. Material exhibits high tensile strength, shrink temperature, and suture retention; reapproximates well around suture holes; soft and pliable for implantation. Detoxification process enhances biocompatibility compared to conventional glutaraldehyde-treated patches. Serves as a permanent implant to facilitate dural closure. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing and animal studies only. Physical/mechanical testing confirmed equivalent performance to predicates. Animal study comparing Shelhigh No-React® patch to conventional glutaraldehyde-treated patches demonstrated higher levels of biocompatibility and cytocompatibility for the subject device. ## Technological Characteristics Glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium membrane; No-React® detoxification process; provided in 2% benzyl alcohol solution; sterile; soft, pliable sheet form factor. No electronic, software, or energy-based 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 (Bio-vascular) - Shelhigh No-React® pericardial Patch (Shelhigh Inc.) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Proprietary and Common Name: Patch is the Shelhigh No-React®Dura Shield Proprietary name: Common name : Dura Substitute ## II. Regulatory Class: Class II device # III. Intended Use The device is intended for use as a dura Substitute for closure of dura mater during neurosurgery. ## V. Product Description The Shelhigh No-React® dura Substitute is a glutaraldehyde fixed sheet of bovine pericardium.rinsed with the detoxification process No-React®. The device is provided sterile in a 2% benzyl alcohol solution, packaged in a glass jar. The material exhibits good tensile strength, shrink temperature and suture retention. The material reapproximates well around suture holes. It is soft and pliable making it convenient to implant. The material exhibits excellent biocompatibility. Bovine pericardial material has been used successfully as a tissue patch for pericardial closure. Glutaraldhyde processed bovine pericardium has a long history of success as a permanently implanted material. ## VI. Substantial Equivalence It is substantially equivalent to the Dura Guard®manufactured ny Bio-vascular and identical to the Shelhigh No-React® pericardial Patch manufactured by Shelhigh Inc.. ## VII. Comparison with Predicate Device The Shelhigh No-React® Dura Shield like the Shelhigh No-React®pericardial patch and like the Dura quard is a glutaraldehyde cross-linked bovine pericardium membrane which exhibits substantially equivalent {1}------------------------------------------------ physical/mechnical properties as measured by suture retention, tensile strength, and shrink temperature. The only difference is the addition of the detoxification process No-React®. Extensive validation of the effectiveness of the Patch with the Extonoro validation process, No-React® indicates that these differences do not pose new questions of safety and effectiveness. #### Nonclinical / Animal Tests VIII. Physical/Mechanical test information is discussed above . An animal study was conducted to evaluate Shelhigh No-React® vs. the conventional glutaraldehyde treated patch, the Shelhigh No-React® patch shows higher level of biocompatibility. #### IX. Conclusions The non clinical /Animal testing data showed that the Shelhigh No-React® patch has high level of cytocompatibility when compared with the conventional glutaraldehyde treated and storage. The Shelhigh No-React® performance in a substantially equivalent to the predicate device and there were no significant differences between the two devices which pose new questions of safety and effectiveness.
