Table 1.

Summary of the location, effectiveness, and longevity of cuffs implanted in each rabbit and monkey subject. Duration reflects the longest time point at which the effectiveness of blocks was tested either as part of systematic tests, or at a later date following cessation of regular testing.

Species	ID	location	Duration	Comments
Rabbit	R1	sciatic	0days	Nerve damage following implant
Rabbit	R2	sciatic	19 days	Mean nerve conduction = 0.45
Rabbit	R3	sciatic	45 days	Mean nerve conduction = 0.31
Rabbit	R4	sciatic	32 days	Mean nerve conduction = 0.60
Rabbit	R5	sciatic	32 days	Mean nerve conduction = 0.53
Rabbit	R6	sciatic	85 days	Mean nerve conduction = 0.60
Monkey	M1L	median	6wks	Cuffs removed following edematous inflammatory response
Monkey	M1L	ulnar	6wks	Cuffs removed following edematous inflammatory response
Monkey	M1R	median	>12 wks	Testing ended at 12 weeks. Unobstructed at time of last saline injection at 64 weeks
Monkey	M1R	ulnar	5wks	Cannula probably kinked
Monkey	M2	median	43 wks	Systematic testing ended at 24 weeks
Monkey	M2	ulnar	43 wks	Systematic testing ended at 24 weeks
Monkey	M3	median	>20 wks	All cuffs remained functional at the time of submission
Monkey	M3	ulnar
Monkey	M3	radial
