Scientists create a new device that repairs damaged nerves without stitches and improves healing after surgery. 🔬💡
Every year, thousands of people face the fear of nerve damage after accidents or surgery. The road to recovery can feel uncertain and slow. Now, a new medical breakthrough is offering real hope... and it is changing how surgeons think about delicate nerve repair.
A device called Nerve Tape® has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Instead of stitching fragile nerve endings together, it uses a bioengineered adhesive wrap. Through photochemical tissue bonding, light activates the adhesive to seal nerves gently, reducing trauma, inflammation, and surgical time while improving alignment.
Peripheral nerve injuries can affect movement, feeling, and daily life. Better alignment means better healing and stronger recovery over time. Experts believe this innovation could transform microsurgery, hand procedures, and trauma care. It also shows how regenerative medicine is moving toward safer, less invasive solutions. Could this reshape the future of surgery?
