It has managed to develop a method to find an amputation with simultaneous nerve reinnervation.
Also generally the method TSR (targeted sensory reinnervation) could be further perfected.The aim is in the future to perform the nerve reinnervation with planned amputation simultaneously. An authentic Feeling could then be realised.
With the sustainability partner SERI (sustainable europe reserach institite), a concept has been developed that transparently illustrates the resource flows of medical devices in general and our feedback system in particular.
Here, Saphenus wants to make an essential contribution through the United Nations Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
