AxoGen, Inc. has announced its U.S. market launch of AxoGuard™ Nerve Protectorand AxoGuard™ Nerve Connector for the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. With licensed technologies from the University of Florida, the University of Texas, and Emory University, researchers at AxoGen have developed an innovative technology platform making it possible to process allograft nerves while preserving the relevant characteristics of the three dimensional scaffold of the nerve tissue.
From press release:
AxoGuard™ Nerve Protector is designed to wrap and protect peripheral nerves. It
can reinforce a coaptation site, wrap a partially severed or compressed nerve,
and isolate nerve tissue during the healing process. The design minimizes the
potential for scar formation and nerve entrapment while reducing the risk of
neuromas. It allows the nerve to glide within a protective covering while
gradually remodeling into the patient`s own tissue.
AxoGuard™ Nerve Connector is designed to align and connect peripheral nerves. It
is a coaptation aid, meaning it joins together two nerve endings, allowing close
approximation and alignment of severed nerve ends.
"We are very pleased to add AxoGuard™ Nerve Protector and AxoGuard™ Nerve
Connector to our portfolio of peripheral nerve repair products," said Jamie
Grooms, CEO and Co-founder of AxoGen. "With these products and our national
sales and marketing support network, AxoGen is more than ever a resource and
partner with surgeons working to treat the peripheral nerve injuries that affect
thousands of patients each year."
AxoGuard™ Nerve Protector and AxoGuard™ Nerve Connector are comprised of a
three-dimensional extracellular matrix that supports regeneration and healing.
AxoGuard™ works with the body to remodel and revascularize, allowing the
products to support the natural nerve healing process. In addition, AxoGuard™,
unlike other materials such as synthetics, is able to be implanted into a
contaminated or dirty wound, since the material is resistant to infection.
AxoGuard™ is available nationally and will be sold through the AxoGen sales
network. AxoGen also distributes Avance®, the first decellularized and cleansed,
sterile three-dimensional scaffold from donated human peripheral nerve. Avance®
is designed to bridge peripheral nerve gaps. It structurally supports the
patient`s own regeneration process to repair the nerve.
