[{"type":"text","content":"Technology unlocks minimally invasive transvascular access to nerve targets and tissues through and beyond the lumen wall Patent strengthens intellectual property foundation for next-generation neuromodulation technologies THE WOODLANDS, TX, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX) (“Autonomix” or the “Company”), a medical device company dedicated to advancing precision nerve-targeted treatments, today announced the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No. 12,544,131 (the “131 patent”), titled “Systems, Methods, and Devices for Monitoring and Treatment of Tissues Within And/Or Through a Lumen Wall.” The newly issued patent strengthens the Company’s growing global intellectual property portfolio, which includes issued and pending patent applications covering foundational transvascular and neuromodulation platform technologies designed to protect Autonomix’s approach to functional nerve assessment, treatment guidance, and adaptive neuromodulation across multiple clinical applications. “Current catheter-based neuromodulation procedures often lack objective, real-time confirmation that targeted nerves have been effectively treated,” commented Brad Hauser, Chief Executive Officer of Autonomix Medical. “This newly issued patent strengthens Autonomix’s intellectual property position around our transvascular platform by covering the ability to sense nerve activity through the vessel wall and objectively determine, in real-time, whether targeted neural pathways have been effectively treated based on functional electrophysiological signals. The system further enables therapy to be dynamically adjusted based on this feedback, supporting a closed-loop, data-driven approach to nerve-targeted procedures. We believe this expanded IP protection underscores the unique capabilities of our technology and supports our mission to develop next-generation tools to enhance procedural outcomes.” The newly granted patent covers catheter-based transvascular (intraluminal) tools and systems designed to operate from within a bodily lumen, where deployable probes penetrate into and/or through a lumen wall to access tissue and nerves located outside the vessel. The patent includes claims relating to multi-site electrophysiological sensing, incorporating sensing at a target site, secondary site...
