Application and Technology/Technology

   

The potential of neuromodulation (or nerve stimulation) to treat a variety of diseases, such as, chronic pain or depression, is becoming widely appreciated. The field is one of the fastest growing areas of medical technology. In most applications the technical principle is the same: a pacemaker-type device known as an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG), delivers a precise pattern of stimulation via the appropriate nerve pathway to achieve the desired effect.

Please note that the use of this IPG, and its related components, in the Leptos therapy for obesity, is investigational only. It is not approved for this use in any country and, specifically, is LIMITED BY LAW TO INVESTIGATIONAL USE IN THE USA. Please refer to the Patient Information section of this web site for information about our clinical trials and to the Contact Us section if you wish to know more about Leptos and our obesity therapy.
