The allay™ Nerve Cap is a nerve cap made of an absorbable polyethylene glycol implant that provides a protective layer around the end of a transected peripheral nerve. The allay™ Nerve Cap forms in situ around a nerve end inside a temporary Cap Form. The hydrogel formed is a transparent, compliant nerve cover that conforms to and provides non-constricting encasement of the nerve end. The allay™ Nerve Cap provides a protective cover around the end of the nerve during the 3-month period associated with neuroma formation , after which the hydrogel is absorbed and cleared from the site within 8 months. The allay™ Nerve Cap - Large Nerve Set (5-7 mm) is provided in a sterile, non-pyrogenic for single use only.
An implantable tubular device constructed of a bio-absorbable synthetic polymer(s) 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 designed 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.
