Nerve cap and production thereof

The invention is directed to a nerve cap for covering a nerve stump, comprising a tubular body with a closed end and an open end and essentially consisting of biodegradable polymeric material to prevent or treat symptoms caused by neuroma. The polymeric material preferably comprises a poly(DL-lactide-co-Epsilon-caprolactone) copolymer obtained by the copolymerizaton of DL-lactide and Epsilon-caprolactone, which copolymer has a lactide content of 51-75 mol%. 本发明涉及用于覆盖神经残端的神经帽，其包括具有封闭端和开口端的管状体，并且基本上由可生物降解的聚合物材料组成，用于预防或治疗由神经瘤引起的症状。聚合物材料优选包括由DL-丙交酯与ε-己内酯共聚而获得的聚(DL-丙交酯-共-ε-己内酯)共聚物，其中所述共聚物的丙交酯含量为51mol％-75mol％。
