Improved Nerve Conduits for Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Scanning electron microscope image of conduits
Invention Summary:
Nerve conduits are used for treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. However, the current conduits are associated with poor healing resulting from swelling and reduction of luminal volume, suture pull-out, collapse, kinking, compression, and lack of mechanical strength to withstand...
