Getting ITB Therapy
The Medtronic SynchroMed® II Pump is a surgically implanted device that delivers medication exactly where your spinal cord needs it. If you pass a standard screening test and don't respond to the anti-spastic medication, the pump can be implanted in a 2-hour procedure, followed by a short hospital stay – so you can start enjoying the benefits.
Is It Right for You?
Your doctor will consider many factors including your symptoms, goals, body mass, and results of a screening test.
