Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™
Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™ (HA+) combines a remodeling extracellular matrix base-layer for long-term protection with a short-term resorbable hyaluronate-alginate gel coating for enhanced nerve gliding and minimization of soft tissue attachments.1
innovative protection
- Resorbing hyaluronate alginate gel coating provides short-term protection during the critical period of scar formation.1
- Extracellular matrix layer vascularizes and remodels into the patient’s own new site-specific tissue.1,2
- Sodium hyaluronate and sodium alginate gel layer on both sides helps reduce friction and enhance nerve gliding through traumatic tissue beds.1
- Nerve can glide through tissue bed throughout healing with less chance of attachment to adjacent soft tissues.1
- Formulated for optimal handling and flexibility of surgical application—quick hydration, flat sheet configuration and is easy to suture if needed.1
