NeuraStasis's StrokeGuard protects tissue, allowing more time to intervene

Every Minute Matters – Damage to the brain unfolds over time. Every minute gained can make a lifetime of difference. To protect the brain, we need ways to slow the complex progression of ischemia—the process of brain cell injury due to lack of blood flow

Preventing disability after stroke remains a persistent need

  • Every hour after a stroke without treatment is equivalent to 3.5 years of accelerated brain aging
  • Average times from diagnosis to treatment in the US are between 2 to 3 hours, particularly
  • Currently less than 15% of patients reach existing treatments

StrokeGuard

Novel proprietary technology stimulates the body’s innate neuroprotective reflexes – placing neural tissue into stasis – preserving the brain and giving providers more time to act 

Pulsed electrical stimulation

Targets the branches of the trigeminal and vagus nerve to activate central reflexes

Integrated monitoring

Continuous cerebral oxygenation and impedance monitoring promote safety and control

Emergency use device

Designed to be rapidly deployed and fit within a fast-paced clinical workflow

CPR for the Brain

The primary mode of action is to pulse blood flow to the brain similar to CPR to preserve brain tissue

StrokeGuard increases cerebral blood flow while promoting multi-faceted protection

Early in a stroke, restoring blood flow is crucial. When the main supply is blocked, if we can boost collateral circulation—the brain’s backup vessels— we can help sustain tissue until proper treatment is available. 

As a stroke progresses, additional factors come into play in determining the fate of brain cells, including:

  • Inflammation – The body’s response can sometimes cause further harm
  • Excitotoxicity – The excessive release of neurotransmitters can trigger cell death
  • Vascular breakdown – Disruption of the blood brain barrier can lead to further harm

Electrical stimulation in pre-clinical models has been shown to affect these mechanisms to show cell death and improve outcomes after stroke.

About Us

NeuraStasis is developing novel non-invasive electrical neurostimulation devices to improve the lives of stroke survivors. We aim to stimulate new hope after stroke.
