  • Biocompatible implants for nerve re-generation and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 10940235
    Abstract: A biocompatible nerve conduit for nerve re-generation, wherein a porous fiber tube is coated with a bioresorbable hydrogel, with the fibers being formed from a polymer that supports nerve regeneration by preferential adsorption of endogenous proteins and braided with pores in the range from 5 to 200 micrometers using a kink-resistant braiding pattern and the hydro gel coating material and thickness being selected to control the overall porosity, so that nutrients and oxygen can diffuse through said hydrogel coating but the infiltration of fibrous tissue through the coating is prevented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 15, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2021
    Assignee: RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY
    Inventors: Joachim B. Kohn, Basak Clements, Mindy Ezra Sadik
