How Altius Works
Watch the video below to learn more about Altius and how it may help you gain power over your chronic post-amputation pain.
What Causes Post-Amputation Pain?
Up to 80% of patients may experience post-amputation pain, like phantom limb pain or residual limb pain.1
- Post-amputation pain occurs when an amputation damages nerve endings in your leg.
- Damaged nerves become hyperactive and send more pain signals to your brain, causing frequent and severe pain.
What can relieve post-amputation pain?
Altius is implanted by a doctor during a minimally-invasive procedure that typically lasts about one hour.
- When activated, the Altius device delivers electrical stimulation directly to the damaged nerves.
- This helps prevent pain signals from reaching your brain, resulting in rapid and lasting pain relief
