MicroTransponder Inc.

Executive Summary

MicroTransponder's MicroStim Pain Management System is a wireless injectable neurostimulator for treating chronic pain. Because it is smaller than implanted spinal cord stimulators, it can be placed outside of the spinal cord nerve and into the peripheral nerves of the arms, legs, and neck. The three components of the system are the Subcutaneous Arrangement of Injectable Neural Transponders unit (an extremely tiny coil injected via a 16-gauge hypodermic needle near the peripheral nerve), an elastic band on the skin containing a larger coil and small battery, and a personal digital assistant or cell phone for the patient to control the stimulation.
