PRESS RELEASE

It verifies that a medical device manufacturer complies with the appropriate regulatory quality system requirements and it assumes that the manufacturer has the appropriate controls in place to ensure that the device developed and manufactured can be considered safe and effective.

About CaverSTIM
CaverSTIM is the first implantable neurostimulator to restore erectile function, focused on non-responders to oral drugs. CaverSTIM is a neurostimulator with electrodes to be implanted in the pelvic cavity, which will activate and restore the neuronal path for penile erection. The technology consists of transmitting by radiofrequency operating instructions to the implantable unit, using an external control unit. The system includes two paddle leads with several electrodes each and connects to an Implanted Pulse Generator (IPG) to deliver electrical stimulation. The IPG, placed subcutaneously in the lower abdomen, is wirelessly programmed using a Clinician Programmer Application to enable the appropriate sets of electrodes and program the stimulation pulse sequence. The patient can turn stimulation on/off, adjust the amplitude, or select pre-defined stimulation pulse sequences using a Patient Remote Control. The IPG is periodically recharged using the external wireless Charger.
About Comphya SA
Comphya is a medical device company based in Lausanne, Switzerland, developing a novel implantable device to restore erectile function in patients non-responsive to oral drugs (e.g., Viagra), particularly spinal cord injury and post-prostatectomy patients. Today, these patients resort to intrapenial injections or penile implants, which are the only available yet painful, problematic and outdated therapies.
Comphya’s patented solution is based on neuroprosthetic principles and offers a unique and superior treatment for erectile dysfunction. The system stimulates the cavernosal nerve (pro-erectile nerve) via external wireless controllers, to restore natural penile erection. The company’s goal is to offer physiological sexual function and quality of life to large parts of the male population in great need.
