Axelgaard Manufacturing Co., Ltd
AMC was founded to offer clinicians an alternative to the poor clinical performance of neurostimulation electrodes existing in 1985. Co-founder Dr. Jens Axelgaard had been working for several years as the Director of Spinal Engineering Research at Rancho Los Amigos Hospital. It was during his tenure at Rancho Los Amigos that he designed and developed the PALS Electrodes to fit his clinical needs. Dr. Axelgaard is world renowned for his development of the Lateral Electrical Surface Stimulation (LESS) treatment for Idiopathic Adolescent Scoliosis and has authored or co-authored more than 30 professional papers. This clinical experience became the backbone of how and why our PALS became a reality.
Our patented PALS were unique in 1985 and are still unique today. They were the first electrodes to totally integrate the use of a pigtail leadwire, conductive fabric and self adhesive gel. Since the introduction of PALS, AMC has received patents on various applications using differing concepts of fabric electrodes, creative ways of enhancing the performance of conductive carbon film, and improved adhesive gel technology. The results provide increased ease of use for patients and clinicians, as well as more comfortable and effective treatments.
