Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of dHACM in reducing scar tissue formation in craniectomy patients as well as facilitating reoperation and repair. Specifically this study compares craniectomy without dHACM application to craniectomy with placement of dHACM between the galea and dura over dural suture line and/or exposed parenchyma.
