NVTR Nuvectra Corporation

Nuvectra Corporation (NASDAQ:NVTR), a neurostimulation medical device company, has recently been named recipient of the Frost & Sullivan North American New Product Innovation Award for its leadership in the spinal cord stimulation (SCS) market.

Frost & Sullivan recognizes Nuvectra for the organization’s commitment to advancing next-generation neurostimulation technologies through its Algovita® Spinal Cord Stimulation System. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to one company that develops a truly innovative and leading-edge technology. The award recognizes the innovative features and benefits of the product and the value it creates in the marketplace.

Describing how Nuvectra was selected, Frost & Sullivan analyst Norma Vela-Roch writes, “Algovita features patient-centric innovation that is easy-to-use, discrete, and portable. In addition, it provides a versatile and expandable platform that helps sustain therapy for the long-term benefit of patients.”

“We are very proud to be the recipient of this prestigious award,” said Scott Drees, Nuvectra’s chief executive officer. “It is a testimonial to the physician partners and the Nuvectra employees who focused so much energy into the creation of the system. The award, combined with the overall response from our patients and physicians, provides independent validation of the achievement of the design goals we set for ourselves.”

SCS is playing an even greater role in the management of chronic pain as serious concerns about opioid use increase. Nuvectra’s Algovita SCS system is a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use system designed to provide broad and flexible pain control, while fitting into a patient’s daily life.

Nuvectra is showcasing Algovita at the upcoming 2017 North American Neuromodulation Society Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, January 19 to 22.
