Cyberonics (now part of LivaNova)
Cyberonics, now part of LivaNova, is a medical device company specializing in neurological treatments, primarily for epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression. They develop implantable devices that deliver precise electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain to help control seizures and improve mental health conditions. Their flagship product, the Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS), is surgically placed under the skin and connected to the vagus nerve in the neck, providing ongoing stimulation to reduce symptoms. These devices are designed to be safe, adjustable, and used under medical supervision to enhance patients' quality of life when other treatments haven't been effective.
