Smart stimulation
neuroloop is designing a novel, closed loop implantable device.
neuroloop’s cuff electrode allows selective stimulation of fibers in the vagus nerve.
For Aesculap, neuroloop provides a unique entry point into the new field of functional neurosurgery. The functional neurosurgery market has gained considerable importance in recent years and will continue to experience rapid growth and clinical impact in the future.
Prof. Dr. Boris Hofmann, Director Business Development Aesculap AG
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
