[Retracted] The Use of a Hypoallergenic Dermal Matrix for Wrapping in Peripheral Nerve Lesions Regeneration: Functional and Quantitative Morphological Analysis in an Experimental Animal Model

Figure 3

Representative low-magnification (8x) images of toluidine-blue stained semithin transverse sections of regenerated median nerve repaired with end-to-end nerve suture, with (Group A) or without (Group B) a conduit of collagen matrix (OrACELL®) wrapped around the suture into a protective sleeve. Seven months after surgery, the presence of the collagen layer (C) around the suture zone is still visible in Group A. BAR=500μm.
