WH Group Limited i aso nei na fa'ailoa mai o Smithfield BioScience ma BioCircuit Technologies o le a tu'ufa'atasia le Nerve Tape®, o se masini fa'afoma'i e mafai ai ona toe su'i le neura fa'aitiiti mo manu'a tuga. O le tekonolosi o le a mafai ai e fomaʻi tipitipi ona faʻagaioiina vave ma ausia le saʻo, faʻalagolago le toe faʻatasi o neura manua, faʻafaigofie le taotoga ma faʻaleleia taunuuga o maʻi.
Nerve Tape® ose masini fa'apipi'i fa'apipi'i fa'ameamea ole porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) fa'apipi'i i matau microscale mo mea fa'apipi'i. E mafai ona vave ma faigofie ona afifi i pito e lua o se neura motusia e fausia ai se fesoʻotaʻiga malosi, faʻatuatuaina ma faʻasalalauga faʻasalalau e faʻaleleia ai le toe faʻafouina. O masini o le a saunia mai i mea'ai SIS e mafai ona su'eina atoatoa mai galuega a Smithfield i Amerika.
"O la matou galuega ma le BioCircuit e fa'aalia ai le fa'alauteleina o le fa'asoa ma le tau o lo'o matou fa'atupuina i maketi eseese e ala i le feso'ota'iga tu'ufa'atasiga tu'ufa'atasia a Smithfield ma le tomai fa'apitoa tau gaosiga," o le tala lea a Courtney Stanton, Peresitene o Smithfield BioScience. "E ala i le seleseleina o mea olaola puaa mo talosaga faafomaʻi - e pei o totoga, mucosa, ma aano - matou te maua le malosi e faʻaleleia ai olaga e ala i le atinaʻeina o vailaʻau fou ma masini faʻafomaʻi e pei o lenei."
"Matou te tulimatai atu e galulue faatasi ma Smithfield BioScience e aumaia lenei fofo faʻafomaʻi faʻafomaʻi i le ola," o le tala lea a Michelle Jarrard, Pule Sili o BioCircuit Technologies. "BioCircuit o loʻo tuuto atu i le atinaʻeina o tekinolosi faʻafomaʻi, e pei o le Nerve Tape®, e toe faʻaleleia, mataʻituina, ma pulea lelei neura peripheral ma le faʻalagolago. Matou te fiafia e faʻaoga i le tulaga tulaga ese a Smithfield o le suʻesuʻeina ma le saogalemu o oloa i la matou galuega e faʻamalosia ai fomaʻi tipitipi i meafaigaluega faʻapitoa faʻapitoa e faʻaleleia ai togafitiga o manuʻa.
I le tutusa ma le faʻatuina o se faʻasalalauga faʻatau oloa mo Nerve Tape®, BioCircuit o loʻo atiaʻe foʻi masini e le faʻalavelave, bioelectronic e mafai ona faʻaogaina i totonu o neura ma maso gaioiga e tuʻuina atu ai le mataʻituina, maualuga-maualuga le mataʻituina ma le filifilia, tapunia faʻamalosi. Fa'aoga i matā'upu o vaila'au o le bioelectronic, neuromodulation, neuro-prosthetics, ma le neuromuscular rehabilitation, o lenei bioelectronics technology e maua ai e foma'i le tomai e su'esu'e ai tulaga o le soifua maloloina i le taimi muamua, sa'o le tu'uina atu o togafitiga, ma siaki taunuuga i le taimi.
Ua fa'aogaina e Smithfield BioScience le tulaga tu'ufa'atasia tu'ufa'atasia a Smithfield e tu'uina atu i falema'i vaila'au ma masini fa'afoma'i se puna mautu o oloa e maua mai pua'a e mafai ona su'esu'eina atoatoa i a latou fa'ato'aga na tupuga mai ai. Talu mai lona amataga i le 2017, ua avea le Smithfield BioScience ma taʻutaʻua US gaosi oloa o le heparin, o se vailaʻau taua e faʻaaogaina e puipuia ai le faʻatupuina o paʻu toto i taimi o togafitiga faʻafomaʻi poʻo i tagata mamaʻi e lamatia mo paʻu.
OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:
- In parallel with establishing a commercial supply chain for Nerve Tape®, BioCircuit is also developing non-invasive, bioelectronic devices able to tap into nerve and muscle activity to provide sensitive, high-resolution monitoring and selective, closed-loop stimulation.
- Smithfield BioScience leverages Smithfield’s vertically integrated platform to supply the pharmaceutical and medical device industries with a secure source of porcine-derived products fully traceable to their farms of origin.
- It can be quickly and easily wrapped around two ends of a severed nerve to form a strong, reliable connection with distributed tension to promote regeneration.
