NeuroMend

NeuroMend, Stryker's first Type I Collagen Nerve Wrap, is designed to wrap a protective environment around injured peripheral nerves. NeuroMend is a resorbable, semi-permeable, collagen wrap that is designed to unroll and self curl to best match the dimensions of the injured nerve.1,2 The NeuroMend wrap comes in 6 sizes and is appropriate for nerves that range from 1mm – 12mm in diameter. NeuroMend is manufactured by Collagen Matrix, Inc. in Franklin Lakes, NJ.

Features & Benefits

  • Self-curling design allows a Stay Suture technique1
  • Rolled design may potentially eliminate the need for sutures1
  • Selective permeability allowing nutrient diffusion, while blocking fibroblast cell migration3,5
  • Type 1 Collagen well received by soft tissue and designed to be non-inflammatory and fully resorbable2,4,6,7
  • Six standard sizes conveniently available off-the-shelf at the time of surgery.
  • NeuroMend is available in two lengths (2.5cm and 5.0cm) and three diameters (4mm, 6mm, 12mm).
