If you have chronic pain, Stimwave Technologies’ Freedom Systems, the PNS (Peripheral Nerve Stimulation) and SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulator) products, may help to provide long-lasting pain relief. This treatment option involves implanting a device that sends electrical stimulation to block pain signals at the pain source. Stimwave is powered wirelessly through HF-EMC technology–without an implanted battery.
How it works?
The Stimwave Technologies’ Freedom Systems uses micro technology, which makes it the smallest pain relief implant in the world. A tiny electrode array and receiver are implanted near a peripheral nerve in your body. The electrode array and receiver fits through a needle sized incision and is performed as a minimally-invasive, outpatient procedure.
What does the StimWave system offer?
Stimwave Technologies is an FDA approved system for management of chronic intractable pain. It offers:
- Targeted pain relief below the head (including knee pain, shoulder pain, arm & wrist pain or foot & ankle pain)
- Minimally-invasive technique
- No battery implanted inside of your body
- External power transmitter that eliminates a requirement for sitting while charging
- Outpatient procedure
- A non-drug therapy option
