Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Byond Healthcare, a SAHPRA licenced distributor, importer and exporter of medical devices is excited to launch the gammaCore Sapphire™ and Parasym™ devices, portable and convenient, non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (nVNS) devices. Please watch our video to learn more.
Bioelectronic medicine
The peripheral nervous system contains a sophisticated network of electrical pathways that can be activated through targeted electrical signals via surface electrodes at select locations, to facilitate healing and balance using the autonomic nervous system's natural mechanisms with bioelectronic medicine (BEM).
BEM harnesses selective pathways of the autonomic nervous system through non-invasive VNS to regulate bodily functions of the parasympathetic nervous system and restore balance.
Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) and Cervical Vagus Nerve Stimulation (cVNS) are innovative therapies in the field of electrical neuromodulation that have demonstrated promising results and offer highly targeted, customisable treatment options.
This minimally invasive approach is accessible through self-administered stimulation on demand.

Our devices
The gammaCore Sapphire™ is a medical device stimulating the cervical branch of the vagus nerve. gammaCore Sapphire™ has been cleared by the US FDA, TGA, Health Canada, UK CA or European CE Mark for the following indications: the preventive treatment of migraine headache in adolescents (age 12 and older) and adults; the acute treatment of pain associated with migraine headache in adolescents (age 12 and older) and adults; the preventive treatment of cluster headache in adults; the acute treatment of pain associated with cluster headache in adults; treatment of hemicrania continua in adults; treatment of paroxysmal hemicrania in adults, medication overuse headache in adults.
The Parasym™, a CE cleared device, is a non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) intended to provide non-invasive auricular VNS delivered through the tragus. The Parasym™ device is indicated for the management of symptoms associated with depression, pain, anxiety and insomnia (in adults).
Byond Healthcare currently supplies the Parasym™ tVNS device and the gammaCore™ Sapphire device. Please find product options, pricing and steps to order your devices.
