Curonix (formerly Bioness) is a medical device company developing the StimRouter Neuromodulation System, an implantable peripheral nerve stimulation device for chronic pain. The StimRouter consists of an ultra-thin, implantable lead placed near a peripheral nerve using a simple injection-like procedure, wirelessly recharged and programmed through an external pulse transmitter that the patient wears over the implant site.

The external wireless powering architecture eliminates the need for a separate implantable pulse generator, reducing the implant to a single minimally invasive component. Patients wear the external transmitter for 1–2 hours per day and remove it during normal activities, providing on-demand therapy without continuous device wear.

The StimRouter system is FDA-cleared and has evidence across back, knee, shoulder, and headache pain indications. Curonix rebranded from Bioness and refocused the portfolio around StimRouter following strategic restructuring.

Curonix's StimRouter occupies the minimally invasive implantable PNS segment alongside SPR Therapeutics, with a wirelessly powered architecture that reduces the implant burden relative to fully independent battery-powered systems. Its FDA clearance across multiple chronic pain anatomical locations gives it broad applicability, though commercial traction requires overcoming physician familiarity with conventional SCS platforms.
