We are a commercial-stage medical device company redefining stroke recovery for survivors living with life-altering motor impairments. Our Vivistim Paired Vagus Nerve Stimulation (Paired VNS) System is the first and only clinically validated, FDA-approved solution for chronic ischemic stroke survivors with moderate to severe upper extremity impairments. Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States. While advancements in acute stroke care over the past decade have significantly reduced mortality, innovation for chronic stroke recovery has lagged, resulting in a growing number of stroke survivors living with meaningful impairments.
Our breakthrough Vivistim Paired VNS System (Vivistim System) addresses this unmet need. The Vivistim System includes an implanted pulse generator and lead that deliver stimulation to the vagus nerve when activated. During treatment (Vivistim Therapy), intentional bursts of stimulation are delivered during functional movement to increase neuroplasticity and durably restore motor function.
Clinical data has demonstrated that Vivistim Therapy delivers meaningful improvements in upper limb function, which can help stroke survivors regain critical capabilities and independence and restore quality of life, regardless of the time elapsed since the patient’s stroke. We believe we are setting a new standard of care in chronic stroke recovery, facilitating a new treatment pathway for chronic ischemic stroke survivors with moderate to severe upper extremity impairments. We have experienced rapid growth since our full commercial launch in 2023, and physicians have performed over 1,000 implants, including approximately 700 in 2025.
In the United States, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds and approximately 800,000 strokes occur annually, according to a report published by the American Heart Association (AHA) in 2025. Stroke occurs when blood flow to a region of the brain is suddenly interrupted, either because an artery becomes blocked in the case of an ischemic stroke, or because a weakened blood vessel ruptures in the case of a hemorrhagic stroke. For stroke survivors, the interruption of blood flow to the brain can result in lasting motor, cognitive, visual, and language impairments, including weakness or hemiparesis affecting the extremities. Based on a report published by the AHA in 2025, we estimate that there are currently approximately 10 million stroke survivors in the United States, the majority of whom are living with chronic impairments.
Chronic ischemic stroke is a serious medical condition characterized by physical and cognitive impairments that persist beyond the first three to six months post-stroke. These impairments can materially diminish a patient’s independence and quality of life.
