Introduction

Boston Scientific's SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulation) systems are prescribed for the management
of chronic pain. The system electrically stimulates the spinal cord to alter the perception of pain
signals.
Boston Scientific is an organization dedicated to helping you manage your pain. We will help you
make the most of this therapy for an improved quality of life.

System Description

The SCS system includes both implanted and external components. During your surgery, one or
more wires called leads were placed along your spinal cord where pain signals to the brain can
be intercepted. The lead was then attached to an implantable pulse generator (IPG or Stimulator),
also referred to as an implant, or Stimulator. The Stimulator is commonly placed in the abdomen,
upper buttock, or subclavicular area. The Stimulator sends a small electrical current to a series
of stimulating contacts, or electrodes, at the end of the lead. The battery-powered Stimulator is
controlled by a hand-held programmer or Remote Control, and is periodically recharged using a
separate Charging System.
