Integra LifeSciences announced the publication of a clinical study that showed that using its NeuraGen Nerve Guide resulted in less operation time and lower post-operative pain than direct suture repair in patients who had complete traumatic nerve injuries.
The NeuraGen Nerve Guide is an absorbable Type 1 collagen tube implant. The study was published in the December issue of The Journal of Hand Surgery. It provides a two-year follow up of a multi-center study on peripheral nerve repair. Thirty-two patients completed the two-year post-operative follow up period.
