Reclaim Recovery

After Stroke

Vivistim^® is an FDA-Approved, implantable device that helps chronic ischemic stroke survivors improve hand and arm movement.

Vivistim is only approved for ischemic stroke survivors.

What type of stroke did you have?

Ischemic Stroke

An ischemic stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain gets blocked, usually by a blood clot. Because of the blockage, part of the brain doesn’t get enough blood and oxygen. That’s what causes brain cell injury.

Hemorrhagic Stroke

A hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain breaks open and bleeds. The bleeding puts pressure on the brain and also stops blood from getting where it needs to go.

About Vivistim

Vivistim is a first-of-its-kind breakthrough technology that uses vagus nerve stimulation during rehabilitation therapy and daily activities to help improve upper limb function for stroke survivors.

This pairing helps strengthen the brain connections needed to improve hand and arm function, providing you with a much needed boost during rehabilitation therapy and daily activities.

The MicroTransponder^® Vivistim^® Paired VNS^™ System is intended to be used to stimulate the vagus nerve during rehabilitation therapy in order to reduce upper extremity motor deficits and improve motor function in chronic ischemic stroke patients with moderate to severe arm impairment. Do not use if the patient has had a bilateral or left cervical vagotomy. Risks may include, but are not limited to pain after surgery, hoarseness, bruising, swelling, coughing and throat irritation. Infection leading to explant is a risk associated with any device surgery. For full safety information, please see www.vivistim.com/safety. Individual results may vary.
