The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new system for nerve repair based on light-activated polymers rather than surgical stitches. The flexible polymer system was developed by the medical technology company Tissium, which was founded over a decade ago to commercialize research from the laboratories of Jeffrey M. Karp and Bob Langer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
