A composite dura substitute implant for implantation at a dura defect site having a porous layer that provides an osteoconductive scaffold for bony ingrowth, a porous layer that provides a scaffold for regeneration of collagen at a dura surface, and an intervening layer for preventing cerebrospinal leakage is disclosed. The composite dura substitute implant facilitates regeneration of dura mater and promotes osteointegration with bony tissue. Methods of manufacturing such an implant and methods of treatment using such composite dura substitute implants are further disclosed.
