Nalu Medical is releasing a next-generation Therapy Disc, a wearable device used with its micro-IPG neurostimulation system, that it said is significantly smaller, lighter and more comfortable than the previous version.
With a 39% reduction in volume from its previous generation, the new Therapy Disc could enhance the overall patient experience. The company hopes the advancement will help make peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) an option for more individuals seeking relief from chronic pain.
The Nalu System features a small implanted pulse generator powered wirelessly by an external wearable disc. By keeping the battery outside the body, the Nalu System enables a less invasive implant procedure, avoids the need for future battery replacement surgeries, and provides greater comfort.
“This launch strengthens our ongoing mission to expand access and make peripheral nerve stimulation therapy a therapeutic option for a broader patient population,” said Tom West, CEO and President of Nalu Medical. “With our next generation Therapy Disc, more individuals seeking relief from chronic pain have options to be candidates for this clinically proven PNS therapy.”
