KLISBio

Silk fibroin tissue grafting for peripheral nerve repair
Funder: European CommissionProject code: 101161926 Call for proposal: HORIZON-EIC-2023-ACCELERATOR-01
Funded under: HE | HORIZON-EIC-ACC-BF Overall Budget: 3,565,000 EURFunder Contribution: 2,495,500 EUR
Description

Peripheral nerve injury is a major source of disability, impairing muscle movement or normal sensations: 4Mn people annually experience traumatic nerve damage. Current solutions do not always achieve full motor and sensory recovery, leading to loss of sensation/function and pain, with a significant impact to patients’ lives. With 50% unsuccessful nerve repair procedures, patients require prolonged rehabilitation, and 30% of them experience permanent disability, producing a high socio-economic burden. KLISBio has developed SILKBridge, a novel cost-effective nerve guide made of silk fibroin for safe and efficient peripheral nerve repair. KLISBio’s solution, clinically tested with a first in human (FIH) study, supports and protects the regenerating nerve from compressive forces, restoring its function, and reducing pain without patient discomfort. SILKBridge enhances nerve healing without immune rejection nor fibrosis, reducing the costs of rehabilitation and prolonged surgeries.
