Fibermag is the first approach to spinal cord injury treatment that protects and guides the body’s own tissue to regenerate lost function.  The treatment we envision will be minimally invasive and versatile, automatically adjusting to different injury shapes and types of individual patients.  Our first indication will be for the treatment of subacute spinal cord injuries, when the patient has been stabilized and the injured cord decompressed.  

The Fibermag treatment could also be administered very quickly and may help prevent long term damage in acute injuries – similar to successfully treating a stroke or heart attack.  Neurosurgeons say “time is spine”, meaning less time is more spine – the earlier an intervention can be made, the greater the chances are for at least a partial recovery of function.
