Abstract

See full text

A windlass is mounted in fixed position external to the body and close to the nerve tissue to be lengthened. A first path in the form of a hollow member is made between the windlass and a second path, along which the nerve tissue is to be extended. A line is connected to the rotatable drum of the windlass and is passed along the first path and the second path to the nerve tissue. The line is connected by a protective cap to the nerve tissue. The drum is rotated, winding the line about the drum and drawing the line through the first and second paths while drawing the nerve tissue along the second path.
