Main Conclusion
- ArtiFasciaTM prevented leakage of saline under different physiological pressures (tested for 30 min.)
- ArtiFasciaTM demonstrated better suture retention compared to saturable DuraGen™.
- ArtiFasciaTM showed superior tensile strength as compared to DuraGen™.
- ArtiFasciaTM showed excellent adherence properties without sutures, when tested on a wet film of collagen under increasing burst pressures (of air).
- ArtiFasciaTM can withstand pressure of over 90mmHg (saline) before leakage occurs.
