The Technology
StimFix offers a compact, safe, effective, and comfortable SCS trial lead anchoring system with proven reduction in lead migration compared to current options. Its 3.5cm pliable polyurethane design prioritizes patient comfort. The proprietary button lock technology firmly secures the epidural lead, while the gentle “C” curve and lead channel prevent movement. The anchor’s skin attachment uses hypoallergenic adhesive for safety and infection prevention. Additionally, a silver impregnated, antimicrobial disk at the lead exit point adds an extra layer of absorbability and protection. Physicians find it easy and efficient to use, reducing anchoring time and creating consistent results and establishing a non-standard of care.
Why STIMFiX?
The trial lead location is crucial in the SCS marketplace, especially with Targeted Subthreshold Electrical Fields. Decreasing lead migration failures, which make up 5-10% of SCS trials, is imperative. Improving trial outcomes, regardless of initial failures, and creating a comfortable environment for patients is key for successful long-term implants. This comprehensive approach optimizes patient outcomes, creates industry consistency, and lastly improves trial to implant ratios, reducing variability in lead placement caused by current ineffective MD methods.
