SQ-Med Co Ltd

SQ-Med was started by 2 university professors, one electrical engineer and the other a biomedical engineer. Their initial objective was to help restore mobility for fully paralysed patients suffering from spinal cord injury (SCI). They were developing technology that would bridge the nerves at the injured section of the spinal cord. While developing this technology, they discovered a new application of the technology which led to creating the EMG Bridged Limb Rehabilitation Stimulator.

This is an active stimulation device which uses EMG signals from the patient’s healthy limb to stimulate the paralysed side by passing the signal through their device. This is different to what’s available on the market as machines are used to generate the signals.

This device helps in training the paralysed side to regain autonomy by mimicking the signal from the healthy limb and grow new neural paths. This helps the patients actively participate in the rehabilitation process. The best use of this product is for patients with hemiplegia, as they will have a healthy limb to generate the signals to stimulate the paralysed limb. In case of full body paralysis, a doctor or nurse can attach the electrodes to their corresponding limb and generate the signals for the patient’s paralysed limb.

Their case studies have shown that in the best case scenario the patient regains movement of the limb, and can actively use it without the machine.

This product has CE certification, and is expecting to receive the Chinese certification by the end of the year.
