Eliminate the need for microsutures

Features

Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS)
Nitinol Microhooks

• Clinically proven material

• Sutureless self-adhering wrap

• Open wrap design allows for precise alignment

• Minimizes tissue adhesions

• Protects repair site

• Prevents axonal escape

• Strong mechanical attachment

• Fixed penetration depth reduces fascicle penetration

• Multiple fixation points distribute tension away

from critical zone of regeneration

Nerve Tape comes in sizes 2 - 7 mm to optimally fit around the nerve.

Clinical Evidence

A cadaveric usability study was conducted to assess how Nerve Tape compares to conventional microsuture in terms of repair speed, ease of use, technical precision, and tensile strength.

Electrophysiology tests demonstrate that Nerve Tape provides consistent nerve repair and supports nerve regeneration equivalent to or better than conduit-assisted or suture primary nerve repairs.

Repair Nerves Faster with Nerve Tape

4.8x Faster than Microsuture

3

  • Over 94% of Nerve Tape repairs were performed in < 3 minutes.

 

  • > Time to perform repairs was reduced with Nerve Tape compared to microsuture
    (1.6 ± 0.8 min. vs 7.2 ± 3.6 min.).
     

  • > Larger nerves (≥ 4 mm) yielded a larger time savings compared to microsuture repairs  
    (1.7 ± 0.9 min. vs 8.6 ± 3.9 min.).

2.6x Stronger Graph.png

2.6x Stronger than Microsuture

3

  • Nerve Tape repairs demonstrated significantly higher average peak tensile force compared to microsuture repairs (7.0 ± 3.6N vs 2.6 ± 1.6N).
     

  • For smaller nerves (< 4 mm), Nerve Tape repairs held to peak forces of 4.7 ± 2.9N, vs. 1.8 ±1.0N for suture repairs.
     

  • For larger nerve sizes (≥ 4 mm), Nerve Tape repairs held to 8.7 ± 3.2N, vs. 3.3 ± 1.7N for suture repairs.

Indications for use 

Indications: Nerve Tape is indicated for the repair of peripheral nerve discontinuities where gap closure can be achieved by flexion of the extremity.​

Contraindications: Nerve Tape is derived from porcine source and should not be used for patients with known sensitivity to porcine material.
 

Please see the full Instructions for Use.
