Description

NeuraWrap nerve protector is designed to provide an interface between the nerve and the surrounding tissues. NeuraWrap remains in place during the active phase of tissue healing and is completely resorbed after tissue response has resolved. The porous outer layer of NeuraWrap comprises a tubular matrix that mechanically resists compression from surrounding tissue and excludes scar tissue ingrowth. The semi-permeable inner membrane allows passage of small molecules (ie water, ions, metabolites, nutrients) but prevents the escape of endogenous growth factors (Nerve Growth Factor). NeuraWrap provides a new alternative for the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries.
