  Thanks Lisa and for the support of the facility as it is good to have first hand experience with a place to help show others it is a good place to go...even if it is a trial.

What is great about this is they will be using different patches as well as harvested ones....interesting to see the results of this one.

Oh wow. So glad you found out about it. Barrows is really such a great place. The technique they use there is the best. I would highly recommend them! Lisa

Hi Selma...
I also know Dr. Spetzler at Barrow Nurrogical Institute here in Phoenix, AZ is also conducting a study on different types of Dura patches. Not sure of the particulars, just thought I would mention it. Lisa
