Device Information
Device Description
SpinalStim is an external device that generates a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field
(PEMF) as a nonsurgical, prescription treatment to increase the chances of a
successful fusion. The device is lightweight, adjustable, and portable, including
a rechargeable battery that allows freedom of movement during treatment. A
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and audible indicators provide important feedback
during treatment. See "Device Operation" for more information.

How SpinalStim Works?
To enhance bone healing after a fusion surgery, PEMF therapy activates
and augments the body's natural healing process that may be impaired in
some people.
SpinalStim contains a Control Unit and Treatment Coils in one integrated device.
A micro-processor generates SpinalStim's electrical signal, which is a highly
uniform, low-energy electromagnetic field sent from the treatment coils. When
the coils are centered over the treatment area, the therapeutic SpinalStim PEMF
signal is delivered through clothing and skin directly to the fusion site.

Device Life
SpinalStim provides daily treatments for up to 365 days. The physician
determines the overall length of treatment (months/weeks) on an individual
basis according to fusion healing progress.
