PneuVation Medical is a privately held medical device company developing a range of patent-pending pneumatic products. PneuVation’s first product Trekke is an ambulatory spinal unloading belt for chronic low back pain, a $2B opportunity. Simply described, Trekke is a soft, supple air-filled belt that stretches vertically lifting and unloading upper torso weight off the lumbar, alleviating low back pain. Unique from back support products, Trekke provides active pneumatic lifting and proven spinal unloading relief, and different from back bracing products which immobilize or restrict movement, Trekke’s soft, supple air-filled design enables comfortable, longterm wear and dynamic movement together with pain relief---an ideal combination for those suffering chronic low back pain. Trekke has successfully completed development, prototype testing and is FDA and Health Canada approved for sale. In June 2008, clinical validation of Trekke will be conducted at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. This will be followed by the North American commercial launch of Trekke, directly to more than 20M chronic low back pain sufferers as a consumer-friendly, no prescription required device for patient self care, the growing trend in chronic low back pain.
