Cow-Tissue patch tested for brain lining repair
NCT ID NCT07371091
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study monitors a collagen membrane made from cow tissue that is used to repair the dura mater, the protective layer around the brain and spinal cord. Researchers will track 110 patients to see how often the patch causes problems that need another surgery, and how well it works overall. The goal is to confirm the product's safety and performance in real-world use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- collagen dura membrane (from cow tissue)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the collagen membrane is a safe and effective option for repairing the brain's protective lining during surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational post-market study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the membrane is better than other options. Risks include infection, CSF leak, or need for additional surgery.
