At Newrotex, patients are at the heart of everything we do.

Every day, countless individuals suffer life-changing nerve injuries — whether from trauma or as a complication of surgeries, such as those for breast or prostate cancer. Yet, the current gold-standard treatment still involves sacrificing healthy donor nerves from elsewhere in the body — a painful and invasive procedure with significant complications.

This needs to change.

Helen, pictured here, knows this reality all too well. She survived a devastating car accident that left her with multiple fractures and internal injuries. Despite the severity of her trauma — affecting her head, spine, ribs, and more — Helen says that the nerve injury to her arm was always her “biggest challenge”.

As part of her extensive expert treatment at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Helen underwent a donor nerve graft procedure, where a nerve was taken from her leg in an effort to restore function in her arm. Since then Helen has been a powerful advocate for change, generously supporting Newrotex and our mission to transform how nerve injuries are treated.

We are so grateful to have the support of the public and patients like Helen who support the company by helping to share their experience of nerve injury, and help us to guide and develop our products to ensure that we are bringing something to market that will make a difference to patients as the priority. Together, we are working to create safer, more effective treatments that will empower both patients and surgeons with better choices.

Thank you Helen!
