Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to collect initial safety and device performance data of the
TISSIUM's nerve coaptation device for the sutureless repair of digital nerve injuries of the
hand in which there has been no substantial loss of nerve tissue. Additional clinical
measures that assess device performance, use, and patient reported outcomes will be collected
to guide future study design and potential device modifications.
