Replaces the classic nerve graft technique for the repair of nerve gaps
1-3
• The most cost-effective nerve conduit currently available
• Multiple studies and case reports prove the clinical efficacy of NEUROTUBE—improved sensory
and functional outcomes
2
• Absorbable woven Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) mesh nerve conduit is small enough to permit
nutrients while impeding invasion by fibroblasts
3
• Corrugated to resist occlusive force of surrounding soft tissue
1
• Flexible to accommodate movement of joints and associated tendon gliding
1
• Bioabsorable to eliminate the need for removal at a subsequent operation
