Neuron Guard is a medical device company based in Modena, Italy, developing a targeted temperature management system to protect the brain after acute injury. The core offering is a refrigerating collar paired with a smart control unit that enables rapid cooling or warming of the patient, usable at the scene, in transit, or in hospital. The system aims to reduce neural lesions and preserve functions such as speech, vision, movement, and breathing by maintaining an optimal body temperature for up to 24-36 hours. The collar is designed for easy cleaning and safety, and the control unit records treatment data and connects with an emergency response system. The company envisions widespread adoption of its device as a standard of care for acute brain damage, integrating continuous temperature management as part of emergency and critical care workflows.
