We have proposed that it is sufficient to provide a simple substratum on which regenerating axone may traverse a gap in a peripheral nerve. To test this hypothesis we set up a new experimental model in which sutures where used to bridge a 10 mm long defect in a peripheral nerve. A defect was created bilaterally in 25 rat sciatic nerves. The cut ends of the nerve were joined by three laps of a continuous suture, on one side with 8/0 polyamide (non-absorbable) and on the other with 8/0 polyglactin (absorbable), leaving a 7 mm gap. At two weeks a matrix that contained capillaries, fibroblast-like cells, and mononuclear cells had formed between the nerve endings, and the sutures were surrounded by foreign-body-like tissue reactions. At four wee...
