SynchroMed II läkemedelspump

Intrathecal Drug Delivery

Medtronic intrathecal drug delivery uses the SynchroMed^® II System to continuously deliver medication to a specific location in your body where it can have the best effect.

The system treats severe spasticity by delivering a liquid form of baclofen, called Lioresal^® Intrathecal (baclofen injection), directly into the intrathecal space where fluid flows around the spinal cord.

What It Treats

The SynchroMed II programmable drug delivery system is used to treat severe spasticity caused by:

Cerebral palsy
Stroke
Multiple sclerosis
Spinal cord injury or disease
Brain injury

How It Works

The SynchroMed II pump (a small, programmable, battery-powered medical device that stores and delivers medication) is surgically placed in the abdomen. A thin, flexible silicone tube, called a catheter, is inserted near the spine and connected to the pump.

A clinician fills the SynchroMed II pump with Lioresal Intrathecal (baclofen injection), which is then delivered through the catheter to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

What Makes It Unique

The SynchroMed II drug delivery system is fully programmable. This lets your physician specify how much Lioresal Intrathecal should be delivered at different times to optimize severe spasticity management.
Medtronic offers the SynchroMed II pump in both 20 mL and 40 mL reservoir sizes, for greater flexibility with refill schedules and device size
Therapy and patient data is stored in the device for follow up with other clinicians
