NALU
The Nalu Neurostimulator System may be able to reduce pain by blocking the pain signals on the nerve that carries those signals to your brain.
- The Nalu micro-IPG is implanted and produces mild electrical pulses
- The tiny size means it’s less noticeable than traditionally-sized IPGs and provides more options for discreet placement
- Thin wires, called leads, are placed under the skin near the affected nerves
- A wearable Therapy Disc powers and controls the system
- The Nalu app provides remote control of program settings from a smartphone
Your physician will choose the appropriate place for the Nalu micro-IPG and the tiny leads, depending upon your anatomy. They’ll also determine if you’re a better candidate for a spinal cord stimulator or peripheral nerve stimulator.
- Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: Thin, flexible wires are implanted near a nerve and connected to a stimulator placed under the skin to deliver stimulation with the goal of relieving pain.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation: Thin, flexible wires are implanted near your spinal cord and connected to a stimulator placed under the skin to deliver stimulation with the goal of relieving pain.
