Relieving Pain
Restoring Movement
BackStop Neural is developing advanced cervical spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems and therapies for patients with neck and arm pain and upper extremity motor dysfunction.
Our <1 mm thick leads utilize proprietary softening polymers and microfabrication processes to enable ease of surgical handling, conformability, and targeted stimulation.
​Softening Polymers
Allow devices to be stiff for insertion and soften in the body to conform to the spinal cord
​Thin Devices
Ideal for the cervical spinal cord and its narrow epidural space
Microfabrication
High precision manufacturing for higher channel counts and design customization
