Sutureless Nerve Repair
Rapid and reliable repair of peripheral nerves
Nerve Tape is a biologic wrap with integrated microhooks for suture-free coaptation of peripheral nerves. Integrated columns of microhooks bind firmly, safely, and reversibly to outer connective tissues, while the bioresorbable wrap forms a pro-regenerative environment. Nerve Tape is quickly and easily applied for consistent, high-quality repairs.
Nerve Tape quickly wraps, aligns, and affixes nerve ends - safely and reliably.
Safe and reliable coaptation of nerve ends
-
Microscale hooks engage outer connective tissues safely and with controlled depth vs. manually placed sutures
-
Summed microhook attachments form a strong hold with distributed tension

Consistent, simple, quick repairs
-
Microhooks float in a flexible biologic backing material for excellent handling properties and easy wrapping of nerve ends
-
Elimination of microsutures reduces surgical time and complexity and enables consistent, high-quality repairs across surgeon backgrounds
Optimized nerve regeneration
-
Reliably precise alignment of nerve ends optimizes axonal regeneration
-
Superficial, distributed attachments spread out tension away from the injury site vs. focally placed nylon sutures
-
The extracellular matrix (ECM) wrapping material protects the repair site, supporting natural healing processes before remodeling over time into native tissue.

Indications for use: 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.
