Checkpoint Surgical Inc.

Start Date

4/24/2025

Completion Date

3/1/2027

Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate if a period of electrical stimulation delivered during the surgical repair procedure can speed up nerve healing.

Eligibility Criteria

Age Range: 18 years to 80 years

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-80 years * Candidate for surgical intervention under general anesthesia. * Require primary nerve injury repair in at least 1 digital nerve. * Following resection, have a resulting nerve gap of ≤ 10mm. * Able to complete tension-free end-to-end direct repair, or repair with a conduit, autograft, or allograft with a length ≤15mm * Signed and dated informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe comorbid conditions, such as arrhythmia or congestive heart failure, preventing surgery under general anesthesia. * Nerve repair occurring \>1 month post-injury. * Incomplete nerve transection. * Injury requiring replantation of target digit * Injury distal to the distal interphalangeal joint. * Injury proximal to branching into the proper or common digital nerves. * Injuries to both digital arteries of an affected digit. * History of neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, or any other known neuropathy * History of chronic ischemic condition of the upper extremity * Cognitive impairment preventing the ability to provide consent, follow post-operative instructions, or complete clinical assessments.
