ABSTRACT:
A guidance channel or conduit for promoting nerve regeneration includes a body constructed of a biocompatible polymeric material and having a first end for connection to a proximal stump of a severed nerve and a second end for connection to a distal stump of the severed nerve. The body includes a plurality of internal lumens extending between the first and second end to facilitate rejoining of the proximal and distal stumps of the severed nerve by providing increased surface area for Schwann cell adherence. A method for promoting nerve regeneration using a multi-lumen nerve guidance channel is also disclosed.
