    Background:

    • Electrical stimulation aids peripheral nerve injury (PNI) recovery.
    • Permanent implants pose risks like infection and nerve damage.
    • Transient therapies need safe, bioabsorbable devices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple, bioabsorbable electrode for transient nerve stimulation.
    • To overcome limitations of current bioabsorbable devices in PNI treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a biodegradable electrode by modifying standard absorbable sutures.
    • In vitro and in vivo characterization of the prototype's stability.

    Main Results:

    • A simple bioabsorbable electrode was successfully fabricated.
    • Prototype stability was confirmed through in vitro and in vivo testing.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel suture-derived electrode offers a promising solution for transient PNI therapy.
    • The device may reduce risks associated with permanent implants and improve nerve regeneration.
