Founder/CEO Joe Dusseldorp, leading reconstructive surgeon, aims to help the millions of patients worldwide with spasticity who at present have to make some compromising choices in search of relief from constant muscle over-contraction. “You can either permanently sever the nerve controlling the muscle, or disable the muscle for a period of months through locally injecting Botox or drip feeding Baclofen. The issue with those treatments is you can’t turn them off for a minute to restore some muscle tone to help you put on your clothes or get out of your wheelchair.”

Syncricity is building implants that are orders of magnitude cheaper and smaller than traditional neuromodulation systems. A series of them can be inserted easily alongside targeted peripheral nerves, then powered and controlled from outside the body by a battery powered, body worn controller. The nerve blocking signal does not damage the nerves and has already been proven by multiple scientific teams to be effective in stopping muscle contraction.
