Nerve guide, bioabsorbable, animal-derived

Definition

An implantable tubular device intended to be used to create a tunnel through which a discontinuous peripheral nerve can regenerate to bridge the proximal and distal nerve stumps. The device is typically used during hand surgery and/or nerve reconstruction. It is made of an animal-derived material (e.g., porcine-derived collagen matrix, chitosan) that can be chemically degraded and typically absorbed via natural body processes. It is also known as a nerve sheath, nerve cuff, nerve protector, nerve conduit, or a nerve wrap.
