The standard approach for a total knee replacement (TKA) procedure requires dissecting through soft tissue around the knee, which may divide some of the small surrounding nerves that provide sensation to the area. The small nerves typically heal on their own, but sometimes their regrowth can become disorganized. This can create a neuroma, a small bundle of nerve tissue that is often very sensitive and painful.2
For patients, a symptomatic neuroma may feel like sharp, burning pain or pinpoint tenderness that radiates from the injured area.
Introducing a New Solution
The allay™ Hydrogel Cap is built on hydrogel technology that has been safely used in more than 5 million patients worldwide³, and is now designed specifically to support nerve healing.
allay™ Hydrogel Cap is fully absorbable and gently forms a cover around the injured nerve. This supports nerve recovery and reduces the risk of neuroma formation.
allay™ Hydrogel Cap remains in place for 8 months, protecting the nerve throughout the critical period of neuroma formation.⁴,⁵
