PATIENT-INSPIRED INNOVATION Meaningful Innovation

GREATER CHOICE IN PAIN MANAGEMENT
Through medical technology, collaboration, and awareness

Because patients deserve pain management options as an alternative or adjunct to systemic opioids, we are:

• Leveraging our capabilities and product portfolio to address the unmet needs of pain patients
• Providing support to those working on the prevention and treatment of prescription opioid misuse, addiction, and overdose
• Educating payers, policymakers, and regulators to enable greater patient access to medical devices shown to alleviate pain

SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR TO HELP WITH CHRONIC PAIN
Embedded technology provides actionable data

The newest Medtronic spinal cord stimulator helps physicians design an innovative treatment plan for chronic pain patients.

• Embedded technology collects quantitative data on a patient’s physical position.
• The data can then be correlated with the patient’s subjective report of pain levels.
• The device can modify the amount of stimulation patients receive, depending on the pain they’re experiencing in different positions.
