SynergyT System
| SynergyT is Medtronic's premium neurostimulation system for the management of neuropathic pain of a non-structural nature that is refractory to conservative treatments. |
Neurostimulation with Synergy allows the flexible treatment of patients whose pain is unsatisfactorily controlled on existing therapies, by inhibiting or blocking the sensation of pain through the delivery of electrical pulses to the spinal cord or to the peripheral nerve |
 |
|
|
The Synergy system consists of an implantable pulse generator (IPG), which contains a special battery and electronics that deliver electrical pulses at settings managed by the physician |
|
The IPG is typically implanted under the skin in the lower abdomen and is connected to one or two leads which are implanted near the spinal cord |
 |
|
|
The patient is able to program the appropriate level of stimulation (within prescribed limits set by the physician), and can also turn the system on and off using a hand-held programmer |
