Abstract

See full text

A bioabsorbable tube device for the repair of nerve defects or gaps comprising a flexible, porous, knitted or woven mesh tube. The tube device is crimped along its exterior to provide a tube which can be bent without pinching or crimping the internal circumference of the tube. The internal tube surface is relatively smooth to provide an optimum environment for longitudinal nerve axon growth within the tube.
