Private Company
Total funding raised: $147M
Overview
Saluda Medical is a private, commercial-stage medical device company developing a novel, data-driven approach to spinal cord stimulation. Its flagship Evoke® System utilizes proprietary ECAP-sensing technology to create a closed-loop therapy that automatically adjusts stimulation in real-time based on the patient's neural response, aiming for superior and more consistent pain relief. Backed by robust clinical evidence from the landmark double-blind EVOKE study, the company is positioned to challenge established SCS players by offering an objectively controlled therapy with demonstrated long-term outcomes. Saluda is leveraging its foundational sensing platform to potentially expand into new neuromodulation indications.
