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.
The Altius® System is FDA approved and is indicated as an aid in the management of chronic intractable phantom and residual lower limb post-amputation pain in adult amputees.
