Dysphagia is Common, Costly and Harmful

Dysphagia is a significant and costly barrier to stroke recovery and is linked to prolonged hospitalization, increased healthcare costs and aspiration-related complications.

Swallowing control is restored

A New Approach to Improving Swallow Safety and Efficiency

Pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) is a targeted therapy that delivers low-level electrical impulses to the swallowing nerves in the throat, helping re-establish communication with the brain and promote neuroplasticity to restore swallowing control.⁴

What Phagenyx does

The Phagenyx System improves swallowing safety and efficiency by restoring the brain’s ability to initiate and coordinate safe swallowing, accelerating recovery from post-stroke dysphagia.

Promotes Neurologic Recovery

Phagenyx applies pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) to the sensory nerves and restores the brain’s control of swallowing function.

Improves Swallowing Safety & Efficiency

Clinical studies show Phagenyx enables faster return to oral nutrition and reduces aspiration risk, supporting shorter hospital stays.

Designed for Real-World Care

Phagenyx enables early intervention without disrupting clinical workflow – even for critically ill patients.

Who it's for

Phagenyx may be appropriate for patients with reduced or absent spontaneous swallowing, impaired swallowing safety and efficiency, or abnormal sensation in the pharynx or larynx.

Testimonials

Michael
Stroke Survivor
“They got my throat working again after 10 minutes on the first day. At the end of the 6th day—after 60 minutes of treatment—I’m swallowing and eating like normal. It gave me my world back.”

SLP
“Phagenyx has allowed us to offer a new treatment to our patients that is evidence-based. We’ve seen patients progress faster than they may have with other available therapies.”
