Sutureless Connector
Nerve Repair Simplified
The Problem
The Nerve Tape Solution
40%
Microsurgical suturing of peripheral nerves is complex, skill-dependent, time-sensitive, and often results in misalignment, leading to inconsistent functional outcomes.¹
Nerve Tape® offers a precise, suture-free solution for nerve repair, connecting nerves faster and more accurately than conventional methods.¹
Nerve Tape is designed to:
Simplify repair & connect transected nerves
Eliminate the need for microsutures
Nerve Tape Features
Porcine Small Intestine Submucosa Wrap
-
Self-adheres for easy wrapping
-
Clinically proven biomaterial for nerve protection
-
Open wrap design may reduce risk of constriction compared to hollow tube conduits.
Nitinol Microhooks
-
Quick and easy sutureless connection¹
-
Fixed penetration depth < 0.5 mm safeguards internal structures
-
Multiple points of fixation provide reliable hold & tension dispersion
Trauma-Free Coaptation Zone
-
Eliminates tension and secondary trauma at the repair site
-
Precise and direct approximation, free from microsuture
-
Splints and directs fascicles to ensure precise alignment

Hear from Nerve Tape Co-Inventor
"My career motivation has always been to improve outcomes following nerve repair, and Nerve Tape was designed with that mission in mind. We set out to achieve and maintain precise alignment of nerve ends, and the result was a tool that provides a strong mechanical hold through a highly efficient delivery mechanism. Nerve Tape enables surgeons of all experience levels to perform high-quality repairs, even in communities without access to specialized care. We have seen tremendous enthusiasm for its potential to revolutionize nerve repair, and while its success is gratifying, we remain committed to applying innovation to further advance patient care."

What Surgeons Are Saying¹
"Nerve Tape has significantly streamlined my workflow in the operating room by saving time through fast and easy nerve coaptations."
Dr. Lisa Gfrerer, MD PhD
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon | Asst. Prof.of Surgery
Weill Cornell Medicine
"This is a game changing product: better quality nerve repairs, faster, and stronger than a suture repair."
Dr. Amber Leis
Hand, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgeon
UC Davis
"Simple. Effective. Elegant."
Dr. John Fernandez, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon
RUSH University Medical Center
"This is a great product. Nerve Tape has saved serious time on our procedures, and time is safety in our mind - especially for cancer patients at elevated risk of clotting. And while even a perfect suture repair is fragile, Nerve Tape can be felt to hold and protect nerve ends safely and securely."
Dr. Lisa M. Hunsicker, MD FACS

"Nerve Tape provides a leap forward in speed and precision. By saving critical time in the OR, I can provide top quality repairs to more patients."
Dr. Kongkrit Chaiyasate, MD
Plastic Surgeon
Beaumont Hospital
"Nerve Tape makes nerve repair simple and efficient. The device is a game-changer for complex reconstructive surgeries, where time savings and accuracy are crucial. Nerve repair can restore patients' sense of touch, a critical factor to health and well-being for the mastectomy patient.²"
Dr. Alanna Rebecca, MD
