Title: Burkhard Schlosshauer: Innovator in Nerve Regeneration Technologies
Introduction
Burkhard Schlosshauer is a notable inventor based in Tuebingen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of nerve regeneration, holding two patents that focus on innovative solutions for nerve repair.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a nerve guide designed to facilitate the regeneration of axons. This invention aims to provide a nerve guide that allows axons to develop freely during the regeneration process. The nerve guide is produced from a shaped body made of a cross-linked, resorbable, gelatin-based material. It features a tubular hollow body with a wall that defines a lumen, surrounded by a semipermeable layer.
Another significant patent is the bioresorbable nerve guide rail. This invention includes a microporous guide tube made from polymers of hydroxycarboxylic acids. The porosity of the tube allows for metabolism through the wall while preventing the passage of cells. Additionally, it may contain several monofilaments of the same polymers, characterized by an orientation aid on the inner surface of the tube and/or the surface of the monofilaments. This feature promotes longitudinally oriented colonization with Schwann's cells.
