Upon dissection of the nervus ischiadicus and subsequent reconnection by a microsurgical suture, a protective cover (cuff) of BASYC prevents coimective tissue from growing into the nerve gap, and favors the adhesion of the fascicles, which facilitates early regeneration of the nerve and a rapid retimi of muscle function. The good incorporation of bacterial cellulose-forming crmnective tissue and new blood vessels on the smface of the protective cover is worthy of particular emphasis (Klemm et al. 2005).
