Saluda Medical Highlights Multiple Presentations Featuring Evoke(R) ECAP-Controlled, Closed-Loop SCS System at NANS Annual Meeting
ARTARMON, Australia, Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-- Includes 8 Oral Presentations and Award of Best Clinical Abstract 

Saluda Medical Pty Limited ("Saluda Medical") today announced that data from 
multiple studies evaluating the company's Evoke(R) ECAP-Controlled, Closed-Loop 
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) System for the treatment of chronic pain will be 
featured in multiple presentations – including eight oral presentations and 
award of Best Clinical Abstract – during the upcoming North American 
Neuromodulation Society (NANS) 23rd Annual Meeting, being held January 23-26, 
2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Evoke is the first closed-loop SCS system that is designed to measure the 
spinal cord's response to stimulation (via ECAPs, or evoked compound action 
potentials) and adjust on every pulse to optimize activation within the 
patient's therapeutic window.

Oral presentations by leading pain specialists will feature results out to 12 
months from the Evoke U.S. Pivotal Study, which were recently published in The 
Lancet Neurology. These results were awarded The Best Clinical Abstract by NANS 
and will be presented on the podium by Timothy Deer, MD, President and CEO of 
The Spine & Nerve Centers in Charleston, WV and Past President of the 
International Neuromodulation Society. In addition, final results out to 24 
months from the Avalon multicenter chronic study will be presented. Other 
presentations by Evoke study investigators will include discussions of various 
sub-analyses from the Evoke data.

John Parker, CEO of Saluda Medical, commented, "We look forward to hearing from 
investigators who will be sharing long-term results out to 12 months from the 
U.S. Evoke Pivotal Study and out to 24 months from the Avalon study. We are 
honored to have the studies of our device given such attention as NANS 
represents a meaningful opportunity for leading clinical neurologists and pain 
specialists to share scientific and medical developments in the treatment of 
pain."

About Saluda Medical

Saluda Medical is a global medical device company focused on patient outcomes, 
science, and engineering to transform the neuromodulation industry with a 
platform of closed-loop technologies based on the evoked compound action 
potential (ECAP). Saluda's first device, Evoke(R), is the first 
ECAP-Controlled, Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) System. Evoke is 
designed to measure the spinal cord's response to stimulation (ECAP), adjust on 
every pulse to optimize activation within the patient's therapeutic window, and 
maintain long-term results through ECAP control as demonstrated in the Avalon 
Study and Evoke Study. In the EU, Evoke is CE Marked and commercially 
available. In the U.S., Evoke is currently under investigation through the 
first double-blinded, randomized, controlled U.S. pivotal study in SCS and is 
not commercially available. 


Saluda Medical is a privately-held company with headquarters in Artarmon, New 
South Wales, Australia and offices in Bloomington, MN, USA and Harrogate, UK.
