ABSTRACT:
A method and device for rejoining the stumps of transected cable-like structures such as peripheral nerves are based on using a flexible, inelastic sheet of material as a connector. The connector has inscribed guide-measuring lines and guide points enabling the diameter of the nerve or other structure being reconnected to be measured as well as providing a way of measuring the stump lengths to be secured and trimmed to achieve optimum results.
