“…The clinical "gold standard" for bridging peripheral nerve gaps is the use of autografts (typically, the sensory sural nerve). However, the use of autografts is limited by the following issues: 1) limited availability of nerves to use in the autograft [1], 2) secondary surgery, 3) lack of coaptation between the injured nerve and the nerve graft due to size/length/modality mismatch [2], and 4) functional loss, such as numbness at the donor sites [3]. Moreover, complications at the donor site such as hyperesthesia or formation of painful neuromas also have to be addressed [4,5].…”

“…However, gelatin derived from denatured collagen has also been investigated for a wide range of biomedical applications. 42 Gelatin was the first biodegradable material examined for preparing neural scaffolds, and gelatin-based neural scaffolds can be covalently incorporated with additional bioactive cues, which are gradually released during the scaffold biodegradation. …”

“…A slightly damage of peripheral nerve tissue has the potential to regenerate, however severe peripheral nerve damage caused by a rupture on nerve tissue bobbin leading to a crack or gap in the nerve fibers has low regeneration ability. Approximately 5% of all cases of peripheral nerve damage has a gap in the nerve fiber axons (Ijkema, et al 2005). Both axons severed by a distance of more than 1-2 cm require grafts or pipes connecting nerves to improve their function (Deumens et al 2010).…”
