INDICATION
The DuraSeal® Exact Spine Sealant System is indicated for use as an adjunct to sutured dural repair during spinal surgery to provide watertight closure.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not apply the DuraSeal® Exact hydrogel to confined bony structures where nerves and spinal cord are present since neural compression may result due to hydrogel swelling. The hydrogel may swell up to 12% of its size in any dimension.

WARNINGS
• In the treatment arm of the DuraSeal Exact spine study the rate of post operative CSF leaks in Chiari malformation procedures was reported as 30.4% (7/23). Of the 30.4%, 8.7% are CSF Fistula, 8.7% are Pseudomeningocele (surgical intervention required), and 13% are Pseudomeningocele (no surgical intervention required).

• Do not use if an active infection is present at the surgical site.
• Do not use the DuraSeal Exact Spine Sealant as a hemostatic agent.
• The safety and effectiveness of the DuraSeal hydrogel has not been studied in:
  • Patients with a known allergy to FD&C Blue #1 dye.
  • Patients with severely altered renal or hepatic function.
  • Patients with a compromised immune system or autoimmune disease.
