Intrathecal drug delivery systems

Intrathecal drug delivery systems are specialized devices that deliver medication directly into the space surrounding the spinal cord. This method allows for effective treatment of chronic pain or certain neurological conditions by providing targeted medication with smaller doses, which reduces side effects. The system typically includes a small pump implanted under the skin that reservoirs medication through a catheter into the cerebrospinal fluid. This precise delivery can improve symptom control for patients who have not responded well to traditional treatments, offering a safer and more effective way to manage complex medical conditions.
