Injectrode Placement
Our goal is to make it simple for future patients to get relief without bulging stimulators, wires sticking out, or lasting scars.
We believe neuromodulation should be as easy as drug injection. To accomplish that mission, a simple, minimally invasive placement is key. The Injectrode is placed with an 18 ga needle, there is no need for strain relief loops, and the flexibility of the device allows for customized lead placement.
Neuromodulation shouldn’t be an afterthought
“The flexibility of the Injectrode is like an art. You can customize placement for each patient to position the external stimulator in a convenient location. You simply draw with it.”

Self-Anchoring
Preclinical studies indicate that the helical design and bundled anchors of the Injectrode effectively prevent movement or shifting, even amidst repeated leg flexion following placement. The Injectrode remains securely in place during full extension, ensuring neither end of the device becomes dislodged.

Ultrasound Visualization
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.
