ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to hollow conduits whose walls are comprised of Type I collagen and are characterized by having a multi-layered, semi-permeable structure, which conduits are used to promote nerve regeneration across a gap of a severed nerve. Methods of making the nerve regeneration conduit are also disclosed.
