Biocompatible and biodegradable material, combining polymeric and natural, serves as structural scaffold for the cell guidance and tissue regeneration, especially in the nervous tissue. This product offers more possibilities of successful tissue regeneration than others do.

1. NANOFIB NATURE
Clean, fast, complete nerve regeneration

2. Nervous tissue is present in all body systems.
It is one of the body tissues with more limited
capacity of spontaneous regeneration. Nervous
tissue can be damaged by multiple causes.

3. Focusing only on burns, it is possible to see a great impact on public health.
In 2004, almost 11 million people around the world suffered burns severe enough to require medical
attention.
In 2000, direct costs of caring for children with burns in the United States exceeded US $ 211 million. In
Norway, the costs of hospital management of burns exceeded 10.5 million Euros in 2007.
In South Africa, about $ 26 million is spent each year to treat burns from incidents with the use of
kerosene (paraffin) stoves.
In the U.S., approximately 13,000 people annually suffer severe burns requiring skin grafts and tissue
engineering.

4. To date, the star procedure for nerve damage is the
replacement with authologous (same body) and
heterologous (different body) trasplantations. However,
this procedure presents important limitations as the
reduced disponibility of the former and the posibility of
immunological rejection of the latter.

5. NANOFIB NATURE presents a solution that combines
nanometric polymer fibers with natural materials that
significantly improve performance over similar solutions.

6. NANOFIB NATURE has demonstrated better results on
neurite outgrowth and tissue regeneration during the
same culture time and without neurotrophin
supplementation, in comparison to other systems..
NANOFIB NATURE has shown complete recoveries of tissue
in just 7 days.

7. NANOFIB NATURE gets a tissue recovered in less time.
NANOFIB NATURE is biocompatible.
NANOFIB NATURE is biodegradable.
NANOFIB NATURE allows its application in wound dressings, sutures, surgical
meshes, guides for nervous reconnection.
