ReShape Lifesciences (Nasdaq: RSLS) has secured a significant Australian patent for its Diabetes Neuromodulation technology, valid until April 2039. The technology utilizes the company's proprietary vBloc™ platform to treat Type 2 diabetes through vagus nerve modulation.
The system employs targeted bioelectronic modulation of vagal nerves using implanted electrodes and an intelligent pulse generator that interfaces with external devices and glucose monitors. Preclinical studies in Zucker rats and alloxan-treated swine have demonstrated effective glycemic control. The technology is supported by 63 issued or pending patents covering areas including vagal neuromodulation, glucose regulation, artificial intelligence, and Bluetooth-enabled applications.
ReShape Lifesciences (NASDAQ: RSLS) has announced a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective for trading on May 9, 2025. Following the split, every 25 shares of outstanding common stock will be consolidated into one share. The company will make proportional adjustments to outstanding warrants, stock options, and convertible preferred stock. Any fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The reverse split was approved by stockholders on April 1, 2025. The company's transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, will provide instructions for exchanging existing certificates. The new CUSIP number will be 76090R408. The number of authorized shares under the company's certificate of incorporation will remain unchanged.
ReShape Lifesciences (Nasdaq: RSLS) has received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for patent application 18/241,151, titled 'Intragastric Device.' The patent covers an innovative intragastric balloon system featuring a swallowable capsule with self-sealing fill valve and degradable release valve.
The system is designed to deflate approximately three months after saline inflation and is configured for natural excretion. The patent will provide protection until at least January 2031, with potential for extension.
Since their initial filing in 2011, the company has secured over 50 patents related to their intragastric balloon system. ReShape currently maintains a portfolio of more than 160 patents issued and pending across various protected technologies.
ReShape Lifesciences (RSLS) has received a USPTO Notice of Allowance for patent application 18/069,689, titled 'High-Frequency Low Duty Cycle Patterns for Neural Regulation', providing protection until August 2037. The patent covers their Diabetes Neuromodulation system which utilizes proprietary vBloc™ technology for treating Type 2 diabetes through vagal nerve modulation.
The technology features an energy-efficient algorithm that uses discontinuous high-frequency signals with interwoven micro- and millisecond pauses, consuming 10 times less energy than traditional continuous signals. Preclinical testing on rat vagus nerves has shown equivalent efficacy while remaining compatible with standard implantable pulse generators.
The company's intellectual property portfolio includes 63 issued or pending patents covering vagal neuromodulation, glucose regulation, artificial intelligence, and Bluetooth-enabled applications.
ReShape Lifesciences (RSLS) has entered an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with Motion Informatics to import and distribute neuromuscular rehabilitation devices. The partnership's flagship product is the FDA-cleared Stimel-03, which combines Functional Electrical Stimulation, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation, and real-time EMG biofeedback in a single platform.
The system is designed for patients recovering from stroke, injury, or surgery, and can be used in both clinical and home settings. Motion Informatics is also developing Spatial StimelMD (SSMD), a next-generation platform that incorporates AI-personalized neuromodulation, EMG biofeedback, and augmented reality for adaptive rehabilitation.
