Smart stimulation

neuroloop is designing a novel, closed loop implantable device.

neuroloop’s cuff electrode allows selective stimulation of fibers in the vagus nerve.

neuroloop GmbH is an early-stage healthcare spin-off company from
the Freiburg University and the Freiburg University Hospital
with investment of Aesculap AG, a division of the B. Braun Melsungen AG

We as B. Braun co-founded neuroloop in order to extend our experience and expertise in neurosurgery into the field of functional neurosurgery. Functional neurosurgery provides new treatment options for patients. We are excited to explore this innovative field with a dedicated and diverse team in Freiburg. 

Dr. Jens von Lackum, Member of the Board B. Braun SE

The neuroloop story is a prime example of how technologies from science and research can be implemented in market-ready products through an aligned partnership between the university, the medical center, and international medical device players located in the region.

Prof. Dr. Hans-Jochen Schiewer, former Rector Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg
