Medtronic’s Synchromed Implanted Pump

Medtronic’s SynchroMed implanted pump is a device surgically placed in the abdomen that delivers continuous, precise doses of pain medication directly to the spinal cord. This allows for better pain control at significantly lower doses than oral medications, reducing side effects and improving quality of life for patients with chronic pain. At Revere Health, we offer SynchroMed pump implantation for patients who need long-term pain management.

How the SynchroMed Pump Works
Implanted Pump: The small pump is implanted in the abdomen, and a catheter is placed to deliver medication directly to the spinal cord.
Continuous Infusion: The pump delivers a controlled and continuous dose of pain medication, providing consistent pain relief without the need for frequent dosing.
Lower Dose Requirement: Because the medication is delivered directly to the targeted area, lower doses are required compared to oral medications, minimizing systemic side effects.

Conditions Treated with the SynchroMed Pump
Chronic Pain: The pump is ideal for managing severe, long-term pain conditions that have not responded well to oral medications or other treatments.
Cancer Pain: Provides effective relief for patients with cancer-related pain who need constant pain control.
Spasticity: Can be used for patients with severe spasticity (muscle tightness) related to conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries.

Benefits of the SynchroMed Pump
Targeted Pain Relief: Medication is delivered directly to the spinal cord, providing more effective pain relief.
Reduced Side Effects: Lower doses of medication result in fewer side effects compared to oral pain medications.
Improved Quality of Life: Continuous pain relief allows patients to manage chronic pain more effectively and enjoy daily activities.
Customizable Dosing: The pump can be adjusted to meet each patient’s specific needs, ensuring personalized care.
