Adherus

AutoSpray Dural Sealant

Strong under pressure

Close effectively with Adherus AutoSpray Dural Sealant, Stryker’s adjunct to standard methods of dural repair.

Adherus helps provide watertight closure and reduce chances of CSF leaks during cranial and spinal procedures. Even more importantly, it's designed to provide dural closure during the critical phase of dural healing.

REQUEST SAMPLE

Long lasting

Adherus maintains significant burst strength above physiological intracranial pressure in an in vitro model. With an average of 17 cross linking end groups, Adherus has an increased strength.^{1, 2}

Adheres to the dura during the entire healing period of 13 - 15 days⁶
Completely resorbs after 90 - 125 days³

Low swelling

Hydrogels, by nature, absorb liquid when placed in a solution, which can lead to swelling of the implant. Adherus displayed a dimensional change of only 8% due to water uptake compared to other dural sealants (38%).²

Easy set-up and application

Adherus hydrogel is ready to use in 1-minute; it sets in approximately one second and remains where it is applied.³

Additionally, the applicator consists of an integrated air pump, which assists on the application of the hydrogel by:

Creating an "aerosol" effect on the target spot
Preventing blockages at the tip

Designed for better patient outcomes

0%

infection

There were no device related infections and no cases of meningitis among subjects treated with Adherus AutoSpray Dural Sealant in a pivotal randomized controlled trial.⁴

98%

impermeability

98.4% of patients treated with Adherus did not require a second application of the product intraoperatively to achieve tight closure.⁴

99%

leak prevention

Adherus was found to have a 99.1% success rate^4a at preventing CSF leaks in a 17-center randomized controlled trial.⁴

Your options

Both Adherus AutoSpray and AutoSpray Extended Tip applicators allow the dural sealant hydrogel to be applied without any adaptors. Choose the most convenient option.

The value of Adherus

Adherus can help to prevent post-operative CSF leaks and help avoid readmission to hospital and possible re-operations, which may result in economic savings for the institution.^4,5
