CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nalu Medical today announced that it ranked number 19 in the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 29th year. Within the life sciences category, the company ranked number 7. Nalu Medical revenue grew 9,623% during the period from 2019 to 2022.
Nalu chief executive officer, Tom West, credits the exceptional clinical performance and unique technology of the Nalu Neurostimulation System for the company’s 9,623% revenue growth rate. He said, “We are proud to be in the company of so many life sciences leaders. We are also deeply gratified that our unique technology has been able to relieve the chronic pain of patients for whom traditional medical management and more conventional interventions would not be appropriate. Our use of advanced microelectronics has allowed us to develop an advanced and small implantable pulse generator (micro-IPG™) with an external battery that allows Nalu to uniquely and effectively treat neuropathic pain peripherally at the site of pain (PNS) and centrally in the spinal column (SCS). In addition, with Nalu, unlike conventional neurostimulators for pain, patients do not need to have a lithium battery implanted beneath the skin. A growing body of clinical data has clearly demonstrated the efficacy and lifestyle benefits for chronic pain patients of the Nalu System.”
Overall, 2023 Technology Fast 500 companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 201% to 222,189% over the three-year time frame from 2019 to 2022, with an average growth rate of 1,934% and median growth rate of 497%.
