About cerbomed
Cerbomed is a privately held, medical device company based in Erlangen, Germany, aiming to become the leader for the development of non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapies. The company was founded in 2005 to develop and commercialize its proprietary, transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (t-VNS) technology and devices for therapeutic uses. NEMOS products comprise the world’s first non-invasive VNS device enabling specific electrical brain stimulation. The company has received a CE-mark for NEMOS in Europe.
About t-VNS
t-VNS is applied to the left outer ear, over the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, where it stimulates the nerve transcutaneously. Cerbomed therefore expects t-VNS to offer a highly attractive and cost-effective alternative to current and emerging VNS treatments, other neurostimulation methods, surgery or pharmacologic therapies.
