Benefits of Nalu Battery-free, Microstimulator
Small size
Up to 27x smaller than other neurostimulator devices.
Minimally Invasive
Small device implanted under the skin.
Discrete
Small size of microstimulator minimizes the chances that it is visible beneath
the skin. You can simply remove the Therapy Disc when you are not using it or
place it under your clothing when you need it.
Battery-free
No implanted batteries. Completely avoid the need for battery replacement
surgeries.
Highly Upgradeable
Science and technology change rapidly. The Therapy Disc can easily be
upgraded to the latest therapies without the need for surgery.
Reversible
If at anytime you chose not to continue therapy, it is completely reversible.
NeuroModulation
Well Established
Neuromodulation is a well-established pain treatment used throughout the
world for over 30 years.
Pain Relief
It includes a small implanted device that transmits mild electrical pulses to the
spinal cord. The pulses calm the nerves and reduces pain signals to the brain.
Drug-free Therapy
Neuromodulation does not require drugs or physical therapy to work.
Nalu Neuromodulation Implant Procedure
The process for implementing the Nalu Neuromodulation System is simple, minimally invasive and reversible.
It begins with temporary evaluation – so you can try before committing to a full system implant.
Temporary Evaluation
- Unlike almost all other pain treatments,
you will get to try the therapy to see if it’s
right for you. - Reversible, short procedure to place tiny,
flexible wires near the spine. - Evaluate:
– Improvement in daily activities
– Pain relief
– Improvements in sleep - Wear a Therapy Disc to see if Nalu System
is right for you. - Most people find wearing the Therapy
Disc to be very comfortable and that after a
few days, the system “disappears”.
Full System Placement
- Minimally invasive
- The battery-free microstimulator will be
placed just under the skin in the location
you helped choose during your temporary
evaluation.
Return to Life
- Always available therapy, when you
need it.
• You will have two Therapy Discs, one to
wear and one ready on the charger, so that
you will always have your Nalu Therapy
available.
• Discrete control through your
compatible smart phone. - Invisible, when you don’t…
• The size of the microstimulator
ensures that when you don’t need active
stimulation, you won’t see the implant.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is a temporary trial procedure, or a “test drive” which typically lasts 7-14 days. If this
successfully reduces your pain, you and your doctor will discuss a more permanent implant.
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of Nalu Neurostimulation System is that it is completely
reversible.
Yes, you will have control over your therapy and can turn it off using your stimulator or
Remote Control. You can also remove the external device when therapy is not needed.
Traveling is simple and easy for people with a neuromodulation system. If you need to go
through a security screening device, such as those found at the airport, you can request
assistance to bypass the screening device since you have an implanted device.
