ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic axon for electrically bridging damaged nerve fibers constitutes a semi-conductive disc having therein pores substantially parallel to the polar axis of the disc, the pores having an interior coating of electrically conductive material extending substantially from the top to bottom surfaces of the disc, in which respective sides of the damaged nerve fibers are conductively secured to opposite sides of opposite pore ends of the conductive interior coating of the pores. The disc is embedded within a protein gel which is in electrical contact with both the conductive pore coating and the damaged nerve fibers.
