Nerve Tape is designed to:
Easily repair and connect transected nerves
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 timed study on excised nerves showed 70% faster repair times with Nerve Tape compared to suture-only and conduit-assisted repair.

2-4x Stronger

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.

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.
