Rat-model study suggests novel implantable device shows promise to potentially improve function of prosthetic devices designed to work with peripheral nerves.

This diagram represents the MARTEENI implant with insets showing a recording site (top left) where information is collected and hydrogel (bottom right) with channels that support nerve regeneration. The nerve will grow through the hydrogel (blue color) and past the recording sites allowing the collection of biological information at several locations in the regenerated nerve.
