Figure 2
Large picture: needles (0.4 mm) contacting electrode leads for stimulation via the Pt/Ir electrodes in the smaller tubes. Upper insert: stimulator delivering rectangular pulses of 1 ms duration at 10 Hz and different amplitudes (0.1–1 V). Lower insert: electrodes needles (0.7 mm) for stimulation of the sciatic nerve proximal to the tube repair site.
