Safer, Faster & Higher-Quality Dural Repairs

The Problem

10%

Incidence of Incidental Durotomy (ID)

ID is one of the most common complications of spine surgery, with incidences of approximately 10% across all procedures.¹ Incidences are as high as 29% during certain lumbar procedures, such as revisions.^2-4

9-21%

INCIDENCE OF CSF LEAKS

Persistent Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) leaks occur in 9-21%⁵ of lumbar cases with ID, leading to poor outcomes for patients⁶ and additional costs⁷ for healthcare providers.

The Solution

DuraStat is a surgical device that enables higher-quality, gold standard dural repairs with efficiency, even when access is limited.⁸

Clinical Value

Safer

The needle and suture, retained within the smooth, curved tip enable pre-selection of optimal location for needle placement and suture passage.

Faster

DuraStat consolidates steps and automates suture passage with a button-press, helping save time and eliminating supination.

Higher Quality

Sutured repairs are the best-known way to prevent persistent CSF leaks. DuraStat helps gain control of the tear with optimal suture placement and minimized tissue disruption.

How to Use DuraStat

DuraStat enables quality, efficiency, and access by combining steps and reducing variation.

Position

Enables gold standard treatment. Sutured repairs are the best known way to prevent persistent CSF leaks.

Tent & Deploy

Needles are passed predictably with the push of a button, eliminating supination.

Repeat & Knot

The suture is efficiently passed inside to out on both sides of the tear.

What Surgeons Are Saying

Any day with a dural tear is a bad one. DuraStat can simplify repairs in difficult locations. It allows for a better repair with greater efficiency. With that comes improved patient outcomes.

We have an obligation to find ways to introduce additional safety, reproducibility and precision into every facet of what we do as spine surgeons, and that is exactly what DuraStat accomplishes for dural repairs.

Every spine surgeon would benefit from having this tool available.

It significantly reduces the learning curve, allowing trainees and less experienced surgeons to quickly and safely repair a durotomy. Both fellows and attendings like it, demonstrating its long-term value to surgeons.
