Extended
Hospital Stay
Dysphagia Therapy Like No Other
Non-surgical, neurostimulation therapy
to restore swallowing control and reduce length of stay.
Targeting and restoring the neurological components of swallowing coordination and control that are disrupted due to brain injury or prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Robust Evidence
Randomized control trials demonstrate clinically significant improvements using a range of dysphagia outcome measures.
Favorable Economics
Treatment can be delivered earlier than other dysphagia interventions and has been shown to support faster recovery and reduced length of stay.
Seamless Integration
Simple to integrate into existing multidisciplinary care. Treatment sessions are targeted, quick and require limited patient input to optimize and deliver.
Dysphagia is Common, Costly, and Harmful to Patients
Swallowing impairment, called dysphagia, affects millions of people worldwide and can have a profound health and economic impact.
Treating the Root Cause of Dysphagia.
Phagenyx® Neurostimulation System
Introducing the first and only treatment using Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) to restore swallowing control, facilitate airway protection, and accelerate recovery.
Personalized levels of PES, delivered at the earliest stages after injury, enhance neurorehabilitation and reorganization of swallowing control, while requiring minimal patient participation.

Adjust the catheter to reflect patient anatomy and then insert. When ready to deliver treatment, connect the catheter to the Base Station.
Follow Base Station on-screen instructions to measure patient sensory capacity and optimize the stimulation level.
Deliver optimized stimulation for 10 minutes once per day. On completion, disconnect the Base Station. Leave the catheter in place.
Repeat for 3-6 days as clinically indicated. On completion of the treatment regimen, remove the catheter or leave in place for feeding for up to 30 days.

Gaylord Specialty Healthcare First in Nation to Adopt Ground-Breaking Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation Technology to Treat Patients with Dysphagia
NEWS PROVIDED BY Gaylord Specialty Healthcare 09 May, 2023, 15:45 ET WALLINGFORD, Conn., May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, a nonprofit rehabilitation-focused healthcare system, is proud to announce that it is the first healthcare organization in the nation to use the Phagenyx® Neurostimulation System from Phagenesis, Ltd. to treat dysphagia among stroke patients. Dysphagia – or the difficulty or inability to swallow – affects millions worldwide and is a common diagnosis among adult patients at long-term acute care hospitals, including Gaylord Hospital. Dysphagia following stroke is most often caused by damage to the parts of the brain that control and coordinate…
