Axorus

Company

Axorus is a French company that develops neuro-electronic interfaces.

We build bridges between the nervous system and electronic devices or medical implants.

Our goal is to use our technologies to develop a wide range of medical implants to treat the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases and enhance quality of life.

Our vision is to become an originator of a new neurotech industry that makes it possible for people to buy spare parts to recover their lost capabilities.

Our first product will be an artificial retina for patients suffering from diseases such as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) or Retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Product

Bionic Retina

We are developing an Artificial Retina aiming to restore sight for people with damaged retinas.

This medical implant is suitable for people who have damaged photoreceptors (cones and rods) but otherwise functioning retina, as is the case for many patients suffering from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) or advanced dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

The implant will be inserted subretinally, where photoreceptors are located in a healthy retina. The artificial retina acts as a substitute for the damaged photoreceptors by converting light into a signal the brain can interpret.

Tech

We are using genetic-free photoacoustic neuromodulation to stimulate single cells inside the retina in order to provide a high acuity for the patients.
