Tolerability and Feasibility Pilot Clinical Study of a Large-Diameter Nerve Cap for Protecting and Preserving Terminated Nerve Ends

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate Axoguard Nerve Cap in large diameter sizes (5mm -7mm) for protecting and preserving terminated large diameter nerve endings after limb trauma or amputation when immediate attention to the nerve injuries is not possible. The secondary objective of this study is to demonstrate proof-of-concept that large diameter nerve caps can prevent or reduce the formation of symptomatic neuromas in large diameter nerve endings after trauma or amputation when immediate attention to the nerve injuries is not possible.
