Dural graft sizes<\/strong> influence two things at once: how well the repair fits and how much product ends up in the bin. Departments that standardise on a single large format pay for material they discard in every small case. Desu Medical therefore supplies DECOLL<\/a> in four square formats, all manufactured from more than 99.9% pure Type I bovine collagen.<\/p>\n

The Available Formats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Referans Kodu<\/th>\nDimensions<\/th>\nTypical Use<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
DCL2525<\/td>\n2.5 x 2.5 cm<\/td>\nFocal durotomy, small revision defects<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DCL5050<\/td>\n5 x 5 cm<\/td>\nStandard craniotomy and spinal repair<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DCL7575<\/td>\n7.5 x 7.5 cm<\/td>\nLarger resection beds, posterior fossa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DCL100100<\/td>\n10 x 10 cm<\/td>\nExpansive duraplasty, decompressive craniectomy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Each sheet is individually sterile-packaged with lot traceability and expiry marking, so a mixed stock profile does not complicate documentation.<\/p>\n

Why Oversizing the Graft Is Correct<\/h2>\n

Within a case, the graft should extend beyond the defect margins. Overlap onto healthy dura is what gives an onlay its seal and gives a suture line something stable to hold. Undersizing produces tension at the margin, which is where leaks originate. Therefore surgeons should select the next format up from the measured defect and trim down.<\/p>\n

Trimming is straightforward. The membrane cuts cleanly with standard surgical scissors and does not fragment at the cut edge.<\/p>\n

Why Oversizing the Inventory Is Not<\/h2>\n

Across a department, the calculation reverses. If every case opens a 10 x 10 cm sheet, the majority of that material is discarded. Consequently, matching dural graft sizes<\/strong> to the actual case mix has a direct budget effect without any compromise in clinical performance.<\/p>\n

A practical starting point is to review twelve months of neurosurgical activity and classify cases by expected defect size. Most units find that small and medium formats cover the majority of volume, with large sheets reserved for decompressive and skull base work.<\/p>\n
