About the Altius® Direct Electrical Nerve Stimulation System

The Altius® System is a patient-controlled, on demand system that uses Neuros' patented technology to address the underlying cause of post amputation pain by inhibiting pain signal transmission from the damaged peripheral nerves near the site of amputation to the central nervous system.  The system consists of a nerve cuff electrode placed around an affected nerve and an implantable pulse generator (IPG). Patients initiate an on-demand 30-minute treatment session as needed for targeted pain relief.

Caution – Investigational Device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.
