<p>The invention relates to a medical device (1) of a biocompatible material for use in the treatment of a gap or defect in the central nerve system comprising one or more means (2, 20, 21, 22) containing connections such as holes (3) or channels (4) arranged for receiving nerve growth promoting materials or substances, which device has a proximal (5) and a distal (6) end area comprising openings (7) from the connections (3, 4) which device is marked and arranged for coupling nerves from the grey and white matter of the central nervous system at the proximal end to certain marked areas in the proximal end area and nerves in the grey and white matter at the distal end to certain marked areas in the distal end area. Preferably nerves are redirected from white to grey mass by the arrangement of the wholes and/or channels and the marking of the device. The invention also relates to a method for restoring a deficiency in the spinal cord on humans wherein the device is used and the nerves are connected with a biocompatible glue.</p> |
