Ascenda Intrathecal Catheter
The 4-layer, braided design makes Ascenda catheter 6 times stronger than our previous catheter.
New Catheter Strengthens Drug Delivery for Pain
The Ascenda™ intrathecal catheter is the latest innovation to our Medtronic drug delivery system for managing chronic pain. A catheter is the thin, flexible tube that delivers pain medication from the pump to the fluid around the spinal cord.
Fewer Complications
A 4-layer, braided design makes the Ascenda catheter 6 times stronger than our previous catheters. The catheter’s greater strength may reduce complications caused by kinks, breaks, and leaks – even during active daily living. This helps ensure that your pain therapy is not interrupted.
