Description

The AxoGuard® Nerve Cap is a surgical implant that is a tubular device with one open end, one sealed end (cap) and internal channels designed to provide protection for a peripheral nerve end or stump where repair is unattainable or not desired. The device isolates the nerve stump from the surrounding soft tissue bed by pulling the nerve into the tube and suturing the nerve within the cap. The end of the cap has a suturable tab to allow the surgeon to suture the device to surrounding tissue. AxoGuard® Nerve Cap is an extracellular matrix (ECM) and is fully remodeled during the healing process. When hydrated, AxoGuard® Nerve Cap is easy to handle, soft, pliable, nonfriable and porous. AxoGuard® Nerve Cap is flexible and pliable to accommodate movement of the joints and surrounding soft tissues and has sufficient mechanical strength to hold appropriately sized non-absorbable suture. AxoGuard® Nerve Cap is provided sterile, for single use only, and in a variety of sizes to meet clinical needs.
