Nerves Recovered for Transplant
Living with nerve damage can have a significant impact on how someone interacts with the world. It may involve a loss of functions or could cause chronic or debilitating pain.
In late 2022, LifeShare began to recover nerves for transplant. The recovery process is delicate and tedious but has so many benefits. Revolutionary technology is allowing donated nerves to be transplanted to enhance the lives of individuals suffering from chronic pain and mobility issues.
Donated nerves can be used to repair traumatic upper and lower extremity injuries resulting in the loss of nerve function including numbness, pain or loss of motor function. Additionally, cancer patients undergoing tumor removal can benefit from nerve transplants.
Since the program’s inception, 32 Oklahoma donors have provided nerves that have been turned into more than 500 nerve grafts to heal others.
