Device Information

Device Description

The CervicalStim device 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 5505CE

How The CervicalStim Device 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.
The CervicalStim device contains a Control Unit and a Treatment Coil in one
integrated device. A micro-processor generates the CervicalStim device'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

The CervicalStim device 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.
