Full Press Release Details
"The Clik Anchor is easy to use and gives me confidence that the lead is secure," said Salim Hayek , M.D., Ph.D., of the University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio . "This new product will benefit my patients and my practice with simpler, more consistent lead anchoring."
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, pain is the most common reason Americans seek medical treatment, and an estimated 26 million Americans experience frequent back pain. Tens of thousands of patients with chronic pain have found that SCS systems help them manage their pain. Spinal Cord Stimulation is a reversible therapy that manages pain through an implantable pulse generator and external devices that control therapy and charge an implant.
"With approval and launch of the Clik Anchor, we have added six new products to our Neuromodulation portfolio in the past year," said Michael Onuscheck , Senior Vice President and President of Boston Scientific's Neuromodulation Division, a leader in microelectronic implantable technologies used to treat chronic neuropathic pain. "The Clik Anchor complements our SCS percutaneous leads portfolio, and gives physicians the most comprehensive array of lead options in the market."
