cialist for the Spectra system, mention that it is not
uncommon for a patient to want to keep the trial
implant, such is the relief they experience.
Assuming the trial is a success, a permanent version
is implanted, with the entire system (save the wireless remote control) placed under the skin. Regular
checks allow Statom and Dr. Rasheed to make
any minor adjustments to the settings that may be
needed, but the patient now has control of their
pain at the touch of a button and, since the control
looks like a mobile phone, no one else needs to
even know that they are adjusting their pain relief
settings. With a current programmed service of
12 years (and a simple replacement process when
the time comes) implant patients can look forward
to a marked improvement, perhaps being able to
noticeably reduce their need for oral pain medication or even being able to return to work… and
that makes for one happy follow-up photo.
