A tissue bandage for pelvic ganglia injury - Nature Communications

Neurogenic bladder often occurs after pelvic ganglia injury. Here, the authors designed a fiber-enhanced tissue bandage for injured pelvic ganglia that facilitates the delivery of growth factors essential for ganglia healing.

When the skin sustains an injury, we typically reach for a band-aid to provide essential protection and support healing. But what about nerve injuries? To address this challenge, we developed a tissue-like bandage that employed the melt electrowriting technique to create a bandage-like scaffold with polycaprolactone (PCL). We combined it with cell therapy for treating pelvic nerve injuries. Our goal with this approach is to minimize damage to the pelvic ganglia caused by surgical procedures or traumatic events. We aim to enhance recovery and improve outcomes for patients suffering from nerve injuries.
