For anyone having spinal surgery, I have a Biomet SpinalPak I used following my cervical vertebrae fusion.
Seemed to help.
Happy to send it to whomever might need for the cost of shipping.
If interested reach out in a private chat.
The Biomet SpinalPak
[Distributed under Highridge Medical)
A non-invasive, prescription-only bone growth stimulator designed to aid healing after spinal fusion surgery.
FDA-approved, Class III medical device used as an addition to primary lumbar spinal fusion surgery involving one or two levels.
How It Works
- Capacitive Coupling (CC) Technology: The device uses capacitive coupling to deliver a low-level electrical signal directly to the surgical site.
- Mimics Natural Healing: It produces a high-frequency (60 kHz) electrical field that mimics the body’s natural electronegative healing currents to stimulate bone growth (osteogenesis).
- No Sensation: Because the electrical signal operates at a high frequency, patients generally do not feel any physical current or pain during treatment.
Main Components
- Stimulator Unit: A portable, battery-operated signal generator weighing less than four ounces, making it the smallest and lightest bone growth stimulator available.
- Dermal Electrodes: Two lightweight, adhesive hydrogel pads that resemble round bandages. They are placed on the skin over the spine, spaced four to six inches apart at the level of the surgery.
- Power Source: Powered by a rechargeable battery pack that automatically activates the device upon connection.
Key Indications & Usage
- Target Audience: Typically prescribed for patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion who face a higher risk of fusion failure (pseudoarthrosis) due to risk factors like smoking, diabetes, or multi-level procedures.
- Daily Wear: Designed for active patients, it can be comfortably worn under clothing or back braces during everyday recovery activities.
- Compliance Tracking: Features built-in data monitoring so physicians can track usage adherence during follow-up appointments.
Are you currently recovering from spinal surgery, or did a doctor recently recommend a bone growth stimulator? Knowing your situation helps me provide more relevant details.
