Safety and Efficacy

• The first biodegradable nerve conduit cleared for use in the US and EU
• Backed by over 20 years of research – the most clinical data available
• No concerns with animal materials or the need to remove foreign bodies in a subsequent operation

Strength and Flexibility

• Corrugated walls resist kinking and occlusive forces of surrounding tissue
• Flexibility accommodates movements of joints and associated tendon gliding

Permeability

• NeuroTube’s woven Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) mesh allows the infiltration of oxygen to support the nerve regeneration process

Bioabsorbability

• Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) was carefully selected because it is absorbed by the body via hydrolysis
• The GEM NeuroTube begins to break down at three months and is resorbed within six to eight months

Convenience

• Stored at room temperature with a shelf life of five years
• No hydration or preparation prior to surgery
• No waste – can be used right out of the package when you know you’ll need a graft
