|
Indications |
-
Revolnerv® is commonly used as protection in case of sutured peripherals nerves partially or totally cute.
|
| |
|
Features |
-
Effective alternative to autologous (deleterious) grafting and direct suture (stress, non protected regeneration area)
-
Smooth external and internal texture and geometry favouring and guiding axonal regrowth
-
Dimensions suited to the nerve protection
-
Mechanical strength suitable for nerve protection
|
| |
|
Advantages |
-
Revolnerv® is a nervous protection tube of porcine full pure I+III type collagen
-
Calibrated porosity: free passage of nutrients, avoided scar invasion
-
Absorbable: form maintained for 8 weeks, full resorption within 12 weeks
-
Flexible and totally transparent: easy to implant, easy to suture, easily cute (before rehydration) to be adapted to any needs.

Detail |
-
The implantation of Revolnerv® allows to maintaining both nervous extremities in relation. Nerve reconstruction mechanisms then work within the matrix, unaffected by external tissue stresses.
-
Due to its tubular architecture and composition, the Revolnerv® creates an environment favouring nerve regeneration.
-
Revolnerv® and autografts have been implanted in rats (n=12), after nervous section (10 mm) of the peroneal nerve. "Biomaterial 30(3): 363-373 (2009)"
The performance of the Revolnerv® is evaluated, compared two-two with autograft performance, thanks to the evaluation of the functionality of the muscle innervated by the operated nerve which allows to determine the recovery of the muscular functionality.
