Nanochap Nerve Stimulation Chip Stim Engines Series ENS001 Is Widely Used for Extracorporeal Diaphragmatic Pacemakers

The diaphragm is one of the most important respiratory muscles in the human body, which is responsible for regulating respiratory movements and helping people breathe smoothly. However, some people suffer from diaphragm function decline due to illness or other reasons, which leads to poor breathing and seriously affects the quality of life. The United States and other developed countries have mainly developed in vivo diaphragmatic pacing technology, which has made great progress, but because of its invasiveness, it has more shortcomings; the phrenic nerve can be damaged during surgery, chemical stimulation damages the phrenic nerve, the local tissues where the electrodes are placed can be infected, scar contraction compresses the nerves, and implanted electrodes have the risk of dislocating and falling off, and so on. In contrast, extracorporeal diaphragmatic pacemaker is easy and convenient to operate, safe and non-invasive, effective in treatment, and easy to accept.

Nanochap Nerve Electrical Stimulation Chip Stim Engines Series ENS001 is an innovative biochip that stimulates the contraction of the diaphragm through microelectronic technology by transmitting electrical impulses to the human diaphragmatic nervous system. The use of this stimulation chip in an extracorporeal diaphragm pacemaker is a combination of this stimulation chip with existing pacemaker devices to achieve precise stimulation of the diaphragm and help restore its normal function.

The biggest advantage of the extracorporeal diaphragmatic pacemaker over traditional pacemakers is that it is non-invasive. The patient simply attaches the pacemaker to the chest, and with the regulator, the physician can customize the pacing parameters individually for each patient. Diaphragm pacemakers help patients breathe more smoothly by stimulating the diaphragm to contract simply and painlessly.

The use of Nanochap's electrical nerve stimulation chip, Stim Engines Series ENS001, in extracorporeal diaphragmatic pacemakers has a wide range of application scenarios. It is used in a wide range of treatments for a variety of respiratory disorders, such as central and peripheral spinal muscular atrophy, lung disease, and intersternal myopathy. This treatment not only improves the patient's quality of life, but also increases respiratory efficiency, facilitates gas exchange, and reduces the risk of lung infections.

Overall, the use of the Nanochap neurostimulation chip, Stim Engines Series ENS001, in an extracorporeal diaphragmatic pacemaker brings a new treatment option to patients with respiratory disorders. By precisely stimulating the diaphragm, this technique can help patients rebuild diaphragm function and improve breathing difficulties. Although there are still some challenges to be faced, with the development of technology and clinical practice, it is believed that this treatment will be further matured and improved, bringing benefits to more patients with respiratory disorders.
