November 21, 2007 - Collagen Matrix Inc. said this week it signed an agreement with Stryker Orthopaedics for the exclusive worldwide distribution of its NeuroMend Collagen Nerve Wrap, a resorbable, collagen-based rolled membrane matrix intended for use in the repair of crushed or severed peripheral nerves due to trauma.
NeuroMend provides a protective environment to guide the regeneration of the nerve across the injury or gap. The rolled membrane configuration of NeuroMend offers the ability of a single product to approximate nerves of varying diameters. In addition, NeuroMend can be implanted with minimal suturing due to the unique wrap design of the product.
