The FAB Awards is an annual competition which recognizes leading business organizations located in New England that have a relationship with France.

PathMaker’s first product, MyoRegulator™, is a non-invasive device that uses the Company’s proprietary DoubleStim™ technology to durably reduce muscle spasticity. MyoRegulator was one of the first “breakthrough” medical devices selected for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (US FDA) Expedited Access Pathway and is now in IRB-approved human clinical trials.
