How Curonix Wireless Technology Works
The Curonix Freedom® system uses proprietary High-Frequency Electromagnetic Coupling (HF-EMC) to deliver nerve stimulation without an implanted battery:
- Minimally Invasive Implant: Small electrode array and wireless receiver placed near the affected peripheral nerve
- External Power: Patient wears external transmitter (patch or belt) that wirelessly powers the implant through the skin
- Pain Relief: Electrical stimulation blocks pain signals before they reach the brain
- Lifetime Solution: No battery means no replacement surgeries - ever
FDA Breakthrough (July 2024): Curonix became the first and only full-body permanent PNS system cleared for treating chronic neuropathic pain throughout the entire body, including the craniofacial region.
