Device Information

Device Description

The SpinalStim device is an external device that generates a Pulsed
Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) as a nonsurgical, prescription treatment
to increase the chances of a successful fusion. The device is lightweight,
adjustable, and portable, including a rechargeable battery that allows
freedom of movement during treatment. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and
audible indicators provide important feedback during treatment. See "Device
Operation" for more information.

How the SpinalStim device Works?

To enhance bone healing after a fusion surgery, PEMF therapy activates
and augments the body's natural healing process that may be impaired in
some people.
The SpinalStim device contains a Control Unit and Treatment Coils in one
integrated device. A micro-processor generates the SpinalStim device's electrical
signal, which is a highly uniform, low-energy electromagnetic field sent from
the treatment coils. When the coils are centered over the treatment area, the
therapeutic SpinalStim device PEMF signal is delivered through clothing and skin
directly to the fusion site.

Device Life

The SpinalStim device provides daily treatments for up to 365 days. The
physician determines the overall length of treatment (months/weeks) on an
individual basis according to fusion healing progress.
