Spinal cord injury systems

A system for treating a spinal cord injury of a patient comprising:

• a regenerative device configured to be positioned adjacent to an injured segment of a spinal cord of a patient, the regenerative device including one or more segments configured to at least partially encircle the spinal cord;
• and
• a securing member configured to connect ends of the one or more segments to maintain the regenerative device around the spinal cord,
• wherein the regenerative device is coupled to an electrical stimulation device, for stimulating growth a nerve tissue and reducing scar tissue formation.

A method of treating a spinal cord injury comprising:

• accessing an area near a spinal cord of a patient;
• and
• implanting a regenerative device adjacent to an injured segment of the spinal cord such that the regenerative device at least partially encircles the spinal cord, the regenerative device including a porous structure configured to stabilize a local microenvironment surrounding the injured segment and/or promote axonal regrowth across the injury site,
• wherein the regenerative device is coupled to an electrical stimulation device, for stimulating growth a nerve tissue and reducing scar tissue formation.
