Abstract
The present invention provides drug release system embedded nerve guidance conduits (NGC) devices. The devices improve nerve regeneration performance by providing long-term release of growth factors. The devices comprise intermediate cavities introduced along a length of a multi-channel NGC that act as relays to enhance regenerative cell concentrations or growth factor delivery to improve regeneration performance. In some embodiments, the devices target peripheral nerve injury treatments.
