Innovative Partnership to Improve Surgical Nerve Treatments for Veterans Affected by Amputations
Tulavi and VHSS Join Forces for Veterans' Surgical Solutions
Tulavi Therapeutics, a pioneering medical technology firm, is set to transform the care of veterans with traumatic injuries through a new partnership with Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS). This collaboration will distribute Tulavi's innovative allay™ Hydrogel Cap to hospitals under the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and military treatment facilities nationwide. This initiative aims to enhance the treatment landscape for veterans, particularly those dealing with peripheral nerve injuries due to amputations and other traumatic events.
A Growing Need: Surgical Solutions for Veterans
With over 60,000 veterans in the U.S. living with limb loss, the demand for effective treatment options is critical. Many veterans experience traumatic peripheral nerve injuries requiring surgical intervention when peripheral nerves are severed during amputation or surgical repairs. Such injuries can lead to erratic axon regrowth, causing neuromas that result in chronic nerve pain and hinder mobility, prosthesis functionality, and overall quality of life.
Introducing the allay™ Hydrogel Cap
The allay™ Hydrogel Cap stands out as a groundbreaking solution: a fully absorbable, sutureless medical device specifically designed to provide a protective barrier to injured peripheral nerves. By supporting nerve recovery and minimizing the risk of neuroma formation, this innovative device is expected to significantly enhance surgical outcomes for veterans. Once implanted, the cap stays in place for approximately eight months, effectively blocking axonal escape during a critical recovery period.
A Mission to Serve Veterans
Josh Vose, CEO of Tulavi, emphasized the importance of providing cutting-edge technologies to help veterans recover from life-altering injuries. He stated, "Our veterans and their families deserve access to technologies that support recovery from life-altering injuries and disabilities. This partnership with VHSS enables VA and military surgeons to access the best medical technology available for reducing the risk of neuroma formation."
Similarly, Ryan Hurt, CEO of VHSS, expressed pride in their collaboration with Tulavi to enhance recovery options at VA hospitals and military treatment centers. He added that the mission is to facilitate innovative, clinically driven solutions to veterans facing long-term complications from their injuries.
Conclusion
With the allay™ Hydrogel Cap now available to federal healthcare providers, it represents a significant leap forward in the care and recovery of veterans with nerve injuries. Tulavi Therapeutics and VHSS's commitment to improving surgical outcomes aligns with a larger mission to honor the sacrifices made by veterans and ensure they receive the best possible care.
