Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that the patient underwent a craniotomy procedure on unknown date and bone wax was used for control of bone bleeding and to seal air cells in the petrous bone to reduce chance of csf leak.It was also reported by the doctor that no brain bleed occurred.The doctor opined that the re-operation to repair csf leak was required due to the sub-optimal adherence of the wax to the bone and its failure to stay in place allowing the csf leak to occur.At the time of re-operation the previously placed bone wax was dry, brittle, loosely attached to the bone.The patient is doing well currently.(b)(4).
