Synertech Medical launches Single-Use Sterile Dural Repair Kit in the US to improve Operating Room efficiency

 

 

Cheshire (UK)  16 April 2021 :

 

Synertech, a medical device company aiming to provide simple surgical solutions, are delighted to launch their Single-use Sterile, Dural Repair Procedure Pack into the US market.

 

During spinal surgery, especially revision surgery, the dura can become torn and a CSF leak can occur. The reported incidence of Dural Tears for all spine surgeries is 1.6-10 %, with an average of around 3% for primary spinal surgeries. This increases to between 10-15% for revision spinal surgeries. Most dural tears are between 1-10mm and around 95% of tears of this size require a combination of using specialist micro-instruments and a suture to stitch the hole and a dural sealant to seal the hole and prevent post-op complications.

 

To date, the Dural Repair Kit has been very favourably received by spinal surgeons who have had the opportunity to use it.

John K. Starr M.D., an Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon in the Washington DC Metro Area, said:

 

"Dural repair is a necessary and demanding technique within spinal surgery - particularly revision cases. It requires experience, specialized equipment and urgency. Too often the specific instruments required by the surgeon are missing, improperly packaged or incomplete. These failings can compromise the repair and the patient outcome. How nice to have a quality, reliable set immediately available!" 

 

 

 

The Synertech Dural Repair Kit comprises the following elements in one easy to use, single-use, sterile procedure pack, which is ideal for the Ambulatory Surgery Centres or Hospitals:

 

• 7" Micro Discectomy Bayonet Forceps
• 7" Micro Discectomy Scissors
• 7" Micro Needle Holder with Lock
• 6.0 Polypropylene Suture with Round Body and ½ 15mm Needle
