  • Animal Models

Background:

  • Dural grafts are crucial for neurosurgical repair.
  • Reliable methods for obtaining dural grafts are essential.
  • Rat models are widely used in surgical research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel surgical tool for harvesting rat dural grafts.
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of this tool in obtaining grafts from rats of different ages.

Main Methods:

  • Design of a small rectangular wire loop instrument.
  • Utilization of the wire loop to harvest dural grafts from Sprague-Dawley rats.
  • Collection of 40 dural grafts from 20 infant and 20 adult rats.

Main Results:
