Device Information

Device Description

CervicalStim is an external device that generates a Pulsed Electromagnetic
Field (PEMF) signal 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.
Model 5505

How CervicalStim 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.
CervicalStim contains a Control Unit and a Treatment Coil in one integrated
device. A micro-processor generates CervicalStim's electrical signal, which is a
highly uniform, low-energy electromagnetic field sent from the treatment coil.
When the coil is centered over the treatment area, the therapeutic CervicalStim
PEMF signal is delivered through clothing and skin directly to the fusion site.

Device Life

CervicalStim 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.
