The Differentiation Is in the Lead
The Differentiation Is in the Lead
Aleva’s MEMS-based directional lead combines 12 fully independent contacts, rounded electrode geometry and lower imaging artefacts to support precise field shaping and electrode-level control. As part of the directSTIM system, the platform can be licensed by component, module or full system.

Proven Technology
& Clinical Evidence
Aleva developed the world’s first truly directional Deep Brain Stimulation system, CE-marked, clinically validated, and now expanding into new indications such as epilepsy, OCD, and essential tremor. Backed by 120+ patents and proprietary MEMS thin-film electrodes, it delivers superior precision and a five-year lead over conventional DBS systems.
Designed for
Clinical Precision
Aleva’s directional DBS platform was engineered with the clinician in mind — offering intuitive programming, faster surgical setup, and reduced post-operative adjustments. Directional control enables precise targeting with fewer side effects, improving both patient outcomes and workflow efficiency.
Market Positioning
& Investment Signals
The global DBS market is projected to triple by 2030; Aleva is positioned to expand through licensing and new neurological indications.
