Axoguard Nerve Cap®

Axoguard Nerve Cap is a proprietary small intestine submucosa (SIS) matrix designed to reduce the development of symptomatic or painful neuromas.

Proprietary bifurcation provides adequate space to exhaust nerve outgrowth

nerve cap innovations

  • Reduces the development of painful neuromas.1
  • Material gradually incorporates to create a physical barrier to the nerve end.1
  • Ideal for anatomic areas with limited or no musculature.
  • End tab facilitates anchoring the device away from the surgical incision and mechanical stimulation.
