In Situ Polymerizing Peripheral Nerve Cap

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
An in situ polymerizing peripheral nerve cap is a prescription use only device composed of precursor materials that polymerize when delivered to the end of a peripheral nerve to function as a physical barrier to the surrounding in vivo environment to reduce the risk of formation of a symptomatic neuroma.
Physical State
The device is a polymeric, sterile, absorbable, in situ formed, hydrogel cap composed of water and polyethylene glycol.
Technical Method
The device is prepared and in situ polymerized at the time of the surgery to form a hydrogel via a chemical reaction. The hydrogel is then delivered around the end of a peripheral nerve within a temporary silicone mold.
