About Company
GIMER Medical is a Taiwan-based neuromodulation system provider focused on pulsed radiofrequency stimulation therapy. With the mission to provide long-lasting pain relief solutions for people living with chronic pain, the company has designed multiple systems built on its patented pulsed radiofrequency technology "+RF".
Backed by Medtronic, it is now one of the top medical device manufacturers in Taiwan and was honored with the Taiwan Biomedical Show in 2011 and National Innovation Award both in 2016 and 2022.
With the help of a vibrant electronics supply chain, GIMER's high-quality production facility is the first implantable devices facility in Taiwan. In August 2022, GIMER's spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system was granted Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval by US FDA, a significant feat by an Asian device maker. Following that approval, GIMER's second product -- wearable stimulation device StimOn -- was also cleared to market in the US. These milestones are solid proof of GIMER Medical's technical ability and potential to build the future of pain management.
Product Info
1.Product Concept:
NeuroBlock is a spinal cord stimulation system, with a patented +RF technology that uses a high frequency of 500 kHz and provides effective pain management as an alternative to opioid use. It is designed to help patients who suffer from failed back surgery syndrome or common neuropathic pain. The clinical results show that +RF stimulation is paresthesia-free and it has a long-lasting effect on pain relief, allowing users to have full control of their pain.
StimOn is a wearable TENS device with innovative +RF technology aimed to alleviate symptomatic chronic pain. It is a small, portable, and easy-to-use device. Strong clinical evidence shows that its 15-minute treatment has long-lasting pain relief outcomes. StimOn is used for the symptomatic relief and management of pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical or post-traumatic pain.
2.Product Technical:
Both product lines were developed on GIMER Medical's core technology - +RF, an ultra-high frequency of 500 kHz. In 2008, the founders of GIMER Medical combined pulse radiofrequency (PRF) to make the +RF technology, it has a high penetration rate, no heat sensation during the treatment, and no action potential changes. This tech innovation provides a safer, paresthesia-free, and prolonged treatment effect for chronic pain patients.
3.Product Solution:
NeuroBlock is surgically placed under the patient's skin and sends an electric current to the spinal cord. Electrode leads carry current from a pulse generator to the nerve fibers of the spinal cord. When turned on, the device stimulates the nerves where the pain is felt. Pain is reduced because the electrical pulses modify and mask the pain signal from reaching your brain.
StimOn can provide relief to patients experiencing oral medicines or cortisone injections that have not worked, those who have no time or budget for return medical visits, those who can't return to work immediately after surgery, chronic disease patients with medication restrictions, and those with post-surgical pain.
