Features

Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS)

• Clinically proven material

• Sutureless self-adhering wrap

• Open wrap design allows for precise alignment

• Minimizes tissue adhesions

• Protects repair site

• Prevents axonal escape

Nitinol Microhooks

• Strong mechanical attachment

• Fixed penetration depth reduces fascicle penetration

• Multiple fixation points distribute tension away

from critical zone of regeneration

Clinical Evidence

A timed study on excised nerves showed 70% faster repair times with Nerve Tape compared to suture-only and conduit-assisted repair.

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 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.


Please see full Instructions for Use.
