ONWARD Medical has completed the first-in-human implant of its spinal cord stimulator with use of an investigational brain computer interface to aid limb movement in spinal cord injury patients.
ONWARD’s ARC-IM stimulator was implanted in a patient at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The wireless brain-computer interface – the BCI WIMAGINE device from CEA-Clinatec – was inserted nine days later.
