Evaluation of the Efficacy of STRATAFIX for Neurosurgical Cranial and Spine Procedures

Evaluation of the Efficacy of STRATAFIX for Neurosurgical Cranial and Spine Procedures

This research is studying a device already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat wound closures. Researchers are studying a large group of people to continue to learn information about the safety of the STRATAFIX suture and how people's bodies react to using it over a long period of time. This research will provide additional information about using STRATAFIX sutures to close surgical wounds.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Elective or emergent surgical approaches for cranial or spine neurosurgical approaches, requiring sutures for wound closure, requiring multilayer wound closure

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with prior surgical wound dehiscence or infection
• Patients with allergy to suture material
