Could collagen be the key to making the impossible possible?

When the nerves are damaged, recovery is slow and painful; and even with nerve transfer surgery, there’s no guarantee that movement and feeling will be restored. Regenerative medicine company, Orthocell, are making the impossible possible, restoring movement and feeling for patients through a resorbable collagen scaffold that encourages the reformation of new nerve tissue. Damien, a downhill skateboard rider, recounts the accident that rendered his arm immobile, and how he rediscovered his purpose following his treatment with the Orthocell product, Remplir. We chat to Paul Anderson, the brain driving the innovation, and Dr Alex O’Bierne, the Orthopaedic Surgeon who pioneered Orthocell’s operative technique.
