Pharmaceuticals and medical technology will go hand in hand

ERLANGEN/HAMBURG, September 17th, 2015 – The medical technology company cerbomed GmbH from Erlangen and the pharmaceutical company DESITIN Arzneimittel GmbH from Hamburg have entered into a groundbreaking distribution agreement: DESITIN has been granted exclusive distribution rights in Germany by cerbomed for the transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulator NEMOS for treatment of epilepsy.

The successful medium-sized independent company DESITIN has been a specialist provider and proficient partner to doctors and patients in the treatment of epilepsy for many years. By taking on the distribution of the cerbomed NEMOS therapeutic device, DESITIN is now also extending its expertise in the epilepsy treatment market to the medical technology sector.

“It is important to approach epilepsy treatment in a holistic way – this ranges from suitable lifestyle choices to the use of anticonvulsants right through to neurostimulation procedures, providing a useful addition to drug therapy. Due to its non-invasiveness, transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation is especially suitable for this approach and we can now offer it to specialists in addition to our existing medications,” said Dr. Martin Zentgraf, General Manager of DESITIN Arzneimittel GmbH.

“We are looking forward to working with DESITIN, one of the strongest partners in the epilepsy treatment sector. This partnership offers doctors competent advice and gives patients access to a comprehensive range of treatment,” said Dr. Andreas Hartlep, Chief Executive Officer of cerbomed GmbH.

Both companies will be present at the 88th Congress of the German Society for Neurology, from September 23rd until 26th, 2015, in Düsseldorf, Germany.

About t-VNS with NEMOS
Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation is addressed to patients suffering from various difficult-to-treat neurological and psychiatric diseases. The t-VNS therapy uses the fact that a branch of the vagus nerve is located directly under the skin in areas of the outer ear and therefore can be stimulated through the skin (transcutaneously) with electrical impulses.
With NEMOS cerbomed developed and patented a special stimulator and a dedicated ear electrode for treatment of epilepsies with t-VNS. The stimulator, which is connected with the ear electrode, sends out the electrical impulses. With the transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulator NEMOS a targeted stimulation of the vagus nerve is possible without the need of a surgery.
