Digital Nerve Injury

The purpose of this post-market study is to generate post-market, real- world evidence on the safety and performance of COAPTIUM® CONNECT with TISSIUM® LIGHT for the atraumatic sutureless repair of acute digital (sensory) injuries of the hand in adults through prospective data collection, to confirm safety and performance of the device.

This is an Investigator Led single-center, Prospective and Observational, Clinical Research Project. The specific aim of this study is to test/observe the safety and effectiveness of the ReFeel Device for Digital nerve injury in improving recovery time and outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to monitor clinical and surgical procedural outcomes for the use of ReFeel device.

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate if a period of electrical stimulation delivered during the surgical repair procedure can speed up nerve healing.

Nerve injury in the fingers is a common injury and affects people of all ages. The treatment usually offered to patients is surgery and various types of rehabilitation. There is a lack of knowledge and research on how these injuries should be treated in the best way and how well sensory function can be restored after an injury. In this research project, we will investigate results after treatment for digital nerve injuries by entailing a randomised controlled trial allocating patients with isolated digital nerve injuries to either surgical repair or non-operative treatment in a cast. Primary outcome is digital nerve function as measured by 2-points discrimination at 1 year after treatment. Secondary outcomes include finger mobility, dexterity, handfunction, occurence of pain and anxiety and time on sick leave.
