CONNECTOR AND WRAP FOR END-TO-SIDE NERVE COAPTATION

Abstract: the problem of attaching a donor nerve stump to a recipient nerve for an end-to-side coaptation is solved by the use of a tissue connector. the tissue connector can have a body for receiving the donor nerve stump and one or more overflaps for attaching the tissue connector with the donor nerve stump therein to the epineurium on the side of the recipient nerve. sutures can also be used to secure the tissue connector and nerves in place.
