Nyxoah Announces Commercial Launch of Genio® Breakthrough Therapy in the Netherlands
First Genio implants successfully performed at OLVG West and Zuyderland hospitals
Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – December 17, 2025, 7:05am CET / 1:05am ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) (“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), a medical technology company that develops breakthrough treatment alternatives for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through neuromodulation, today announced the commercial launch of its Genio® system in the Netherlands, marked by the first successful Genio implants performed at OLVG West in Amsterdam and Zuyderland Hospital in Heerlen.
Commenting on the introduction of Genio in Amsterdam, Dr. Peter van Maanen, ENT surgeon at OLVG West, stated: “Dr. Mayke Hentschel, our sleep department and I are pleased to offer our patients an additional treatment option for OSA when CPAP is not tolerated. With Genio, patients finally have a real choice. The system stimulates both branches of the nerve, has no internal battery, is full body 1.5 and 3T MRI-compatible, and can be easily upgraded via the external activation chip. These features make it a promising long-term solution for both patients and healthcare providers.”
At Zuyderland Hospital, Dr. Jos Straetmans, ENT surgeon in Heerlen and Sittard, added: “Introducing the Genio bilateral neurostimulation system expands our ability to tailor therapy to the needs of each individual patient. Its advantages: no implanted battery, and reliable performance in the supine position make it a valuable addition to our treatment arsenal. We are excited to bring this innovative, European developed technology to patients in our community.”
“The commercial launch of Genio in the Netherlands marks another important step in our European rollout and reflects growing adoption of our bilateral, externally powered Genio therapy,” commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah's Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to partner with leading Dutch centers to bring Genio to patients seeking an effective and patient-centric alternative to CPAP. As we continue to expand our commercial footprint, these early implants further validate Genio’s role as a long-term solution for OSA.”
