How PrimeAdvanced Works

PrimeAdvanced® is a multi-programmable, non-rechargeable device that delivers stimulation through 1 or more leads in the epidural space. The device delivers electrical pulses to nerves in the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord that can interfere with the transmission of pain signals to the brain and replaces them with a more pleasant sensation called paresthesia.

PrimeAdvanced is a 39 cc, 16-electrode neurostimulator that gives you the freedom to shape the field, plus the ability to create 1, 2, 3, and even 4-lead arrays. TargetStim® lets you steer those arrays in any direction.

Additionally, TargetMyStim® gives you the option to set parameters so your patients can adjust their own intervention, potentially enhancing comfort and reducing office visits.

Using Programs

The stimulation settings are stored in programs. A program is a specific combination of pulse width, rate, and amplitude settings acting on a specific electrode combination (up to 16 electrodes per program).

Up to 4 programs can be combined into a group. When using more than one program, the pulses are delivered sequentially—first a pulse from one program, then a pulse from the next program.

Pulse width, amplitude, and electrode polarity for each program within the group can have different values. Rate, rate limits, ramping, and cycling for each program within the group have the same values.

This 39 cc neurostimulator is the smallest 16-electrode, non-rechargeable device available. The system gives you the freedom to shape the field, plus the ability to create 1, 2, 3, and even 4-lead arrays. TargetStim® lets you steer those arrays in any direction.

Indications

PrimeAdvanced® treats chronic, intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs, including unilateral or bilateral pain associated with the following conditions:


  • Failed Back Syndrome (FBSS) or low back syndrome or failed back
  • Radicular pain syndrome or radiculopathies resulting in pain secondary to FBSS or herniated disk
  • Post-laminectomy pain
  • Multiple back operations
  • Unsuccessful disk surgery
  • Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD)/herniated disk pain refractory to conservative and surgical interventions
  • Peripheral causalgia
  • Epidural fibrosis
  • Arachnoiditis or lumbar adhesive arachnoiditis
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), or causalgia
