Giving patients the ability to gain power over pain
There are nearly two million amputees in the U.S., with 185,000 new amputations occurring every year. Post-amputation pain includes both phantom limb pain and residual limb pain and impacts nearly one million Americans, representing a significant unmet medical need, as existing treatment options are limited and consist primarily of opioids and gabapentinoids. Neuros is a privately held company and the maker of the Altius® Direct Electrical Nerve Stimulation System designed for the treatment of chronic post-amputation pain. Our mission is to reduce pain and restore life for people suffering with post-amputation pain. We are a passionate team guided by our core values, and committed to our patients and the healthcare professionals who care for them.
Our Core Values: Patients First, Deliver Excellence, Responsible Ambition, Inspire and Empower.
