Introducing Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
Evidence shows that delivering mild electrical pulses to the nerves interrupts the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thus reducing pain.
SCS is a well-established approach to to managing chronic pain used globally for over 30 years.
It includes a small implantable device that safely transmits mild undetectable electrical pulses to the spinal cord.
The pulses calm the nerves and reduce pain signals to the brain.
HFX has been clinically proven to deliver significantly better and longer lasting pain relief from chronic back and leg pain than other SCS systems.
HFX has been available in Europe since 2011.
