Abstract
A nerve expander used in plastic reconstruction surgery for lengthening damaged nerves which facilitates reattachment of damaged nerves to facilitate nerve operation and function after reconstruction. One or more saddles on an inflatable expansion member positionally accommodates a nerve in a saddle trough. The nerve expander with the saddle mounted nerve is subsequently inflated with saline solution injected into a self-sealing injection port causing the inflatable expansion member to expand and the nerve thereabout to be stretched and lengthened.
