A ‘Relay’-Type Drug-Eluting Nerve Guide Conduit: Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of the Drug Eluting Efficiency of Various Drug Release Systems
Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are tubular scaffolds that act as a bridge between the proximal and distal ends of the native nerve to facilitate the nerve regeneration. The application of NGCs is mostly limited to nerve defects less than 3 mm due to the lack of sufficient cells in the lumen. The dev...
