Nerve allograft information


Nerve allotransplantation (allo- means "other" in Greek) is the transplantation of a nerve to a receiver from a donor of the same species. For example, nerve tissue is transplanted from one person to another. Allotransplantation is a commonly used type of transplantation of which nerve repair is one specific aspect.

The transplant is called an allograft, allogeneic transplant, or homograft.[1] Currently the only FDA approved nerve allograft is the Avance graft of AxoGen.
