Harness the power of a neuroplasticity-boosting implant

Paired VNS is redefining comprehensive stroke care

Vivistim Paired VNS is an FDA-approved, breakthrough technology that increases the brain’s ability to strengthen and build neural pathways, promoting 2–3× more arm and hand function than therapy alone — even years after stroke.

Designed for use alongside occupational and physical therapy, Vivistim boosts neuroplasticity by pairing movement with vagus nerve stimulation. Clinical trials and real-world evidence show that Vivistim can help stroke survivors make meaningful, long-term gains in arm and hand function.
