NCT00797979

Brief Summary

Bone flaps after craniotomy are typically fixed with suture material, mini plates and others devices. In some cases, fixation with suture material is not secure as it may result in shifting of the bone flap with its dislocation. We will test the safety and efficacy of SKULL GRIP a new device for fixation of the bone flap during cranial procedure comparing to traditional suture materials.
