−Removed: are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of thin film electrode technology for continuous electroencephalogram
−Removed: (“cEEG”) and stereoelectrocencephalography (“sEEG”) recording, spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation and
−Removed: ablation solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to
−Removed: failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders.
−Removed: Additionally, we are investigating the potential applications of our
−Removed: technology associated with artificial intelligence.
−Removed: Members of our management team have held senior leadership positions at a number
−Removed: of medical technology and biopharmaceutical companies, including Boston Scientific, St.
−Removed: Jude Medical, Stryker Instruments, C.R.
−Removed: A-Med Systems, Nuwellis, Inc., formerly known as Sunshine Heart, Empi, Don-Joy and PMT.
−Removed: are developing our cortical sheet and depth electrode technology to provide solutions for diagnosis through cEEG recording and sEEG recording
−Removed: and treatment through spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation and ablation, all in one product.
−Removed: A cEEG is a continuous recording of
−Removed: the electrical activity of the brain that identifies the location of irregular brain activity, which information is required for proper
−Removed: cEEG recording involves an invasive surgical procedure, referred to as a craniotomy.
−Removed: sEEG involves a less invasive procedure
−Removed: whereby doctors place electrodes in targeted brain areas by drilling small holes through the skull.
−Removed: Both methods of seizure diagnosis
−Removed: are used to identify areas of the brain where epileptic seizures originate in order to precisely locate the seizure source for therapeutic
−Removed: treatment if possible.
−Removed: brain stimulation, or DBS, therapies involve activating or inhibiting the brain with electricity that can be given directly by electrodes
−Removed: on the surface or implanted deeper in the brain via depth electrodes.
−Removed: Introduced in 1987, this procedure involves implanting a power
−Removed: source referred to as a neurostimulator, which sends electrical impulses through implanted depth electrodes, to specific targets in the
−Removed: brain for the treatment of disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and chronic pain.
−Removed: is another indication evaluating the effects of DBS.
−Removed: Unlike ablative technologies, the effects of DBS are reversible.
−Removed: Medical Technologies Corporation
−Removed: frequency (“RF”) ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency under the electrode contacts that is directed to the site
−Removed: of the brain tissue that is targeted for removal.
−Removed: The process involves delivering energy to the contacts, thereby heating them and destroying
−Removed: the brain tissue.
−Removed: The ablation does not remove the tissue.
−Removed: Rather, it is left in place and typically scar tissue forms in the place where
−Removed: the ablation occurs.
−Removed: This procedure is also known as brain lesioning as it causes irreversible lesions.
−Removed: In August 2021, the Company announced
−Removed: a strategic partnership with RBC Medical Innovations to develop a RF ablation generator.
−Removed: The following month, our OneRF ablation system
−Removed: was tested by representatives from Emory University in Atlanta Georgia in an animal study.

−Removed: we successfully completed summative usability testing for OneRF with 15 neurosurgeons, and completed execution of internal device verification/validation
−Removed: protocols for the final OneRF ablation system.
−Removed: back surgery syndrome (“FBSS”) is a condition that produces chronic lower back/leg pain due to one or more failed back surgeries.
−Removed: Typically, it is related to patients that suffer with pain after surgery of the lumbar spine for degenerative disc disease.
−Removed: Re-operations
−Removed: are usually not recommended for these patients due to low success rates.
−Removed: These patients experience greater levels of pain, a lower quality
−Removed: of life, varying levels of disability and higher rate of unemployment.
−Removed: Spinal cord stimulation works by placing one or more electrodes in
−Removed: a targeted area of the spine and then connected to an implantable pulse generator that sends electrical stimulation to the electrode
−Removed: to block the pain signals from reaching the brain.
−Removed: During the second fiscal quarter of 2023, we completed an initial animal implant of
−Removed: novel thin film paddle leads for spinal cord stimulation (“SCS”).
−Removed: The devices are intended for the treatment of patients
−Removed: with chronic back pain due to multiple failed back surgery syndrome, intractable low back, and leg pain.

+Added: Given the reluctance of patients to undergo
+Added: epilepsy surgery due to its invasiveness, a number of epilepsy centers have adopted the use
+Added: of depth electrodes, which are placed by drilling small holes into the patient’s cranium,
+Added: thereby avoiding a craniotomy.
+Added: We believe our technology offers advantages compared to current
