About the PeriPulse™ Nerve Stimulation System
The standout feature of the PeriPulse™ system is its advanced, shapeable electrode, which is designed for patients to wear easily. This innovative setup allows for quick activation right after surgical procedures, delivering a one-hour course of electrical stimulation therapy during recovery—optimizing the time spent in the operating room by up to 95%.
A Pioneer's Perspective
Dr. Tessa Gordon, an esteemed neuroscientist and Professor Emeritus at the Universities of Alberta and Toronto, expressed her excitement about this development. "I’m thrilled to see my pioneering efforts in regenerative electrical stimulation come to life as a practical solution that can be applied to many surgical procedures involving peripheral nerves," she noted.
Expanding Clinical Trials and Future Aspirations
Epineuron is actively broadening its clinical data through ongoing trials named REGAIN™ and SELECT™, which focus on treating nerve lacerations and compression injuries. With the recent approval in hand, the company is preparing to scale its operations, prioritizing improvements in manufacturing capabilities, enhancing sales initiatives, and upgrading marketing strategies to ensure the successful commercialization of the PeriPulse™ system.
Commitment to Advancing Nerve Care
As a dedicated company in the field of nerve care, Epineuron is committed to pushing forward advancements in bioelectronic solutions that repair and treat damaged nerves. Their flagship technology, the PeriPulse™, utilizes electrical stimulation to activate the regenerative potential of peripheral nerves, significantly speeding up recovery post-injury. With Health Canada’s approval and designation as a breakthrough device by the FDA, the PeriPulse™ system streamlines surgeons' clinical workflows, making perioperative nerve stimulation both practical and efficient.
