When viagra doesn't work any more, here comes a new solution: erectile neuro-stimulator. A Swiss startup works on a minimally invasive implantable device that selectively activates the nerve to trigger penile erection.
With a remote control.
First prostatectomy patients have just had the device implanted – as part of a medical trial in Royal Melbourne Hospital. First spinal cord injury patients will have it implanted in a clinical trial in Mário Covas Hospital, São Paulo. Trials take place also at Johns Hopkins and Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.
