Industry news: the additive manufacturing of nerve conduits for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury

Peripheral nerve injury and nerve conduit manufacturing The global nerve injury repair and regeneration market is expected to reach $9.7 billion by 2025,a compound annual growth rate of 9.1％ between 2020 and 2025 [1].One com-ponent alone,peripheral nerve injury (PNI),encompasses 5 million new cases worldwide every year [2].Although nerve autograft is considered the gold standard for PNI repair,this process suffers because of a short supply of autologous nerves as well as potential harm caused to the donor.In recent decades,as a promising alternative to autografts,nerve conduits have attracted significant atten-tion,and the design and manufacturing of nerve conduits are the cutting edge of the treatment of PNI [3].
