The Freedom System

The PNS and SCS Freedom® systems use high-frequency electromagnetic coupling (HF-EMC) technology to power the implanted neurostimulator(s). Each neurostimulator includes an electrode array with 4 or 8 contacts, and the electrode array is connected to a  separate implanted receiver. An external rechargeable transmitter supplies power and data to the implanted neurostimulator through the skin. The devices use pulsed electric current to create an electric field that acts on nerves to inhibit the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

The Freedom® Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) and Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) systems consist of a battery-free implantable stimulator that relieves pain by sending electrical stimulation to a specific nerve to block pain signals from reaching the brain.

FREEDOM® STIMULATORS ARE:
  • Non-pharmacological, non-opioid
  • Minimally invasive
  • Battery-free implants
  • In general, Outpatient
  • MRI conditional** at 1.5T (PNS) and 3.0 (SCS)

**For more information on MRI conditional and product safety, see the Instructions for Use or visit Curonix.com.

TREATMENT

The PNS System treats intractable pain by acting on individual peripheral nerves below the head*, offering a lasting approach to relieving chronic pain. The system covers most major areas of chronic pain, including at the shoulder, arm, back, knee, foot and ankle.

*This PNS System is not intended for the treatment of pain in the craniofacial region.

The SCS System is used to treat chronic intractable pain associated with the back and legs.

Life with the Freedom System®

The Freedom System is designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily life and help you take control of your chronic pain. The system consists of:

  • Implanted Stimulator: The purpose of the implantable stimulator is to block pain signals to the brain, thus relieving chronic pain.
  • Transmitter Assembly (Transmitter + Antenna):  The external transmitter contains the battery and powers the antenna, which sends a wireless signal through the skin to the implanted stimulator to relieve pain.
