Cyberonics (Nasdaq:
CYBX)
Pioneered the Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS
Therapy™) System. Founded in 1987 to design, develop and market implantable
medical devices for the treatment of epilepsy and other debilitating
neurological disorders, Cyberonics has emerged as a leader in the
neuromodulation industry.
The VNS Therapy System uses a surgically
implanted medical device that delivers electrical pulsed signals to the vagus
nerve in the left side of the neck. This therapy has proven effective in
significantly reducing the number and/or intensity of seizures in many people
suffering from epilepsy and has the potential for use in the treatment of other
inadequately treated, chronic disorders.
