Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is provided sterile, for single use only, and in a variety of sizes to meet the surgeon’s needs.K223640: Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is a surgical implant that provides non-constricting protection for non-transected peripheral nerve injuries. Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is designed to be an interface between the nerve and the surrounding tissue. Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is comprised of an extracellular matrix (ECM) and is fully remodeled during the healing process. When hydrated, Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is easy to handle, soft, pliable, nonfriable, and porous. The lubricant coating on Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is composed of sodium hyaluronate and sodium alginate. When hydrated, the lubricant coating reduces friction between the nerve and the surrounding tissue. Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is flexible to accommodate movement of the joint and associated tendons and has sufficient mechanical strength to hold sutures. K231708: Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is a surgical implant that provides non-constricting protection for peripheral nerve injuries. Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is designed to aid in coaptation and protection of peripheral nerve injuries by serving as an interface between the nerve and the surrounding tissue and also provides tension relief when used as a coaptation aid.

An implantable tubular device made exclusively of animal-derived bioabsorbable material(s) [e.g., porcine-derived collagen matrix, chitosan] 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 intended to 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.
