The Injectrode®
Placement and Removal Demo
How is our approach different?
RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT APPROVED FOR SALE IN THE US OR INTERNATIONALLY.
Externally Stimulated
The Injectrode is deployed fully inside the body, and stimulated electrically through the skin, meaning there are no wires sticking out of the body after the simple placement procedure. No cables crossing the skin to connect to an outside simulator means less risk for infection or irritation.
Simple to Place
The minimalistic design of the Injectrode allows for access to typically difficult-to-reach nerves deep inside the human body through an 18 ga needle injection. The procedure, performed similarly to a steroid injection, does not require sutures to secure it inside the body.

Simple to Remove
The Injectrode was built with removal in mind. The innovative helical wire structure allows for a simple removal via needle. When pulling out the Injectrode, each individual coil will lengthen and pull inwards before transmitting the force to the next coil, allowing for clean removal from the body, and reducing the risk of leaving a scar behind.
Ultrasound & Fluoroscopy Visualization
Placement is everything in neuromodulation, which is why device visualization is key. The Injectrode appears hyperechoic under ultrasound and displays a large acoustic shadow, allowing for clear imaging during placement. The device can also be readily imaged with fluoroscopy allowing both, interlaminar, and transforaminal approaches for the DRG.
Resists Migration
Migration is one of the main pain points for clinicians when placing leads and electrodes. The Injectrode is designed to greatly minimize the risk of lead migration by self-anchoring and conforming to the patient's anatomy automatically, all without tines, hooks, or sutures. The anchoring capability is even achieved in curved injection pathways.
Fast Procedure
The simplicity of the procedure allows clinicians to help more pain patients with an outpatient procedure. After 15 minutes of training, 6 pain management clinicians successfully placed the Injectrode in fewer than 5 minutes on their first attempt. After a bit of practice, the procedure was completed in under two minutes.*
What Clinicians
are Saying
“This is a foolproof procedure. Once you get your muscle memory down, you can place the Injectrode in less than a minute. The simplicity of the procedure will help clinicians feel more comfortable treating pain with stimulation.”
Amol Soin, MD
“The Injectrode would simplify my workflow for PNS and DRG procedures.”
Hesham Elsharkawy, MD
What if?
Implanting or explanting a chronic neurostimulator was...
-
Would patients try neuromodulation earlier?
-
Would more clinicians perform DRG stimulation?
-
Would clinicians be able to treat more pain patients?
-
Would this encourage more neuromodulation procedures?
-
Would more patients try neuromodulation?
