Abstract
A shield member is placed within a polymer flexible carrier in between a manipulation member used to aid implant of a nerve cuff and the nerve to avoid touching the nerve surface with the manipulation member because the texture or material of the flexible member typically causes more foreign body reaction or other biologic reaction from the nerve and surrounding tissues than the polymer of the flexible carrier itself.
