Relievant Medsystems, Inc.

Relievant Medsystems, Inc., a privately held medical device company pioneering the INTRACEPT therapy of nerve ablation within vertebral bodies for the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP). The INTRACEPT Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System is a patent-protected, minimally invasive, implant-free therapy that utilizes radiofrequency energy delivered into the vertebral body of the spine to ablate the Basivertebral Nerve (BVN). This nerve, characterized in peer-reviewed literature reporting studies of pain signal transmission and in preclinical and clinical evaluations, is a significant contributor in the transduction of pain arising from degeneration of the vertebral bodies associated with CLBP. The INTRACEPT Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System leverages proprietary instruments and methods to disable this nerve. The Company’s investors include Canaan Partners, Emergent Ventures, Morgenthaler Ventures, New Enterprise Associates and ONSET Ventures.
