Overview
Axena Health develops the Leva® Pelvic Health System, an FDA‑cleared, prescription at‑home device that uses a vaginal motion sensor and integrated software to visualize pelvic movement and support pelvic floor muscle training. The Leva System is positioned as a non-invasive, medication‑free first-line treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) and chronic fecal incontinence (FI) and is supported by multiple clinical trials and published data, including studies in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Proceeds from the recent fundraise will support Axena’s continued U.S. commercial launch, where the company reports rising prescriber adoption and expanding payer coverage, and will accelerate work to scale treatments in low- and middle-income countries, including efforts in sub‑Saharan Africa. The system enables physician involvement, progress tracking, and remote monitoring to improve patient outcomes. Axena cites U.S. prevalence figures of over 78 million women affected by UI and 12 million by FI. The company is based in Newton, Massachusetts.
