Proven Clinical Success
ReNerve’s first flagship product, the FDA-cleared NervAlign® Nerve Cuff, is already making a dramatic difference
in surgical outcomes across the United States. A recently announced clinical study has demonstrated remarkable
results, showing that patients treated with the NervAlign® Nerve Cuff experienced post-surgical pain scores
dropping from 7.1 to just 0.4, compared to from 7.1 to 3.3 without the device being used – a statistically significant
improvement that's changing lives.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
ReNerve is advancing a complete suite of nerve repair solutions:
• NervAlign® Nerve Cuff – Our bioabsorbable protective wrap, naturally absorbed within six months of
surgery.
• Deep Dermal tissue product -- A unique deep dermal product used in the repair of reconstructive and
cosmetic surgical cases.
• Amniotic tissue product ranges -- Three amniotic tissue product ranges used to aid the healing of wounds.
• NervAlign® Nerve Conduit Range – Next-generation nerve conduit leveraging advantages of eCOO
technology in a material designed to facilitate nerve growth over short gaps between nerve ends.
• NervAlign® Nerve Guide Matrix – a customised and ready-to-use alternative to existing nerve grafts, for
treatment of longer nerve gaps and more severe nerve injuries. It will eliminate the need for patients to
undergo additional sural nerve harvesting.
• NervAlign® Bionic Nerve – Next-generation combination technology for the most challenging nerve
repairs.
