SUMMARY:Vivistim Therapy Screening Day
DESCRIPTION:When: Wednesday\, May 6 \nScreenings will take place from 1-4 p.m. and take about 30 minutes. \nAfter you register\, you’ll receive a call from the Vivistim Team to schedule your 30-minute appointment slot. \nWhere: Sheltering Arms Institute’s Hanover Outpatient Center (8226 Meadowbridge Rd. Mechanicsville\, VA 23116) \nWhat: Have you or a loved one experienced an ischemic stroke at least 6 months ago? Are you looking to improve movement in your hand and arm? Join Sheltering Arms Institute for a Vivistim Therapy Screening to explore how this innovative therapy may help you regain greater function and independence. \nRSVP: https://go.vivistim.com/Patient_Awareness_Event.html (Select “May 6\, 2026 – Mechanicsville\, VA” in the Event dropdown menu) \nWhat is Vivistim?  \nVivistim is a FDA-approved vagal nerve stimulation device that can enhance recovery among individuals who have experienced a stroke when combined with rehabilitative therapy. Implanted by a neurosurgeon in an outpatient procedure\, Vivistim is placed underneath the skin in the chest—similar to a pacemaker—with coils that extend to the neck and wrap around the vagus nerve. \nWho is an ideal candidate for Vivistim therapy?  \nIdeal candidates for Vivistim are individuals who experienced their stroke at least six months ago and have some ability to grasp and release objects with movement in at least two fingers. Because the therapy involves intense physical activity\, candidates must be able to functionally use their hand to some degree. \nLearn more: https://shelteringarmsinstitute.com/new-technology-helps-stroke-survivors-regain-function/ \n  \nThe MicroTransponder® Vivistim® Paired VNS™ System is intended to be used to stimulate the vagus nerve during rehabilitation therapy in order to reduce upper extremity motor deficits and improve motor function in chronic ischemic stroke patients with moderate to severe arm impairment. Do not use if the patient has had a bilateral or left cervical vagotomy. Risks may include\, but are not limited to pain after surgery\, hoarseness\, bruising\, swelling\, coughing and throat irritation. Infection leading to explant is a risk associated with any device surgery. For full safety information\, please see www.vivistim.com/safety. Individual results may vary.
