SpinalStim™ Spinal Fusion Therapy
HCPCS: E0748
The SpinalStim TM device is FDA approved to be used after spinal fusion surgery or to be used to treat a failed fusion from a previous surgery.
The devices stimulate the natural healing process of bone by sending low-level pulses of electromagnetic energy to the injury or fusion site. The device has an overall clinical success rate of 92% in treating spinal fusion surgery patients. In addition, the SpinalStim device can be used for treatment of a failed spinal fusion, reducing the need for a revision surgery.
DESCRIPTION

For complete prescribing information, please refer to the Instruction Manual. This single-piece device is lightweight, flexible and portable, allowing freedom of movement during treatment. Typical prescribed treatment time is three hours per day. An LCD and audible alarm provide important feedback during treatment such as the operational status, treatment time remaining, battery capacity, etc.
