Axogen, Inc. announced the full launch of Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector. Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is a proprietary nerve protection device uniquely designed to provide both short- and long-term protection for peripheral nerve injuries. The device is comprised of a processed porcine submucosa extracellular matrix base layer with a hyaluronate-alginate gel coating.

The gel layer facilitates enhanced nerve gliding to aid in minimizing soft tissue attachments, while the base layer is remodeled into a long-term protective tissue layer. The nerve protection category covers a wide range of injuries and defects, including nerve compression, crush, and complex traumatic injuries. The diversity of these injury types and their anatomical locations present unique challenges for both the surgeon and the patient.

Optimizing outcomes requires targeted solutions to adequately address the nerve and the surrounding environment throughout the healing process.
