How Does It Work?
MiniStim has three main components. There is the impulse generator, the ETx (Transmitter) and the wireless antenna. The ETx sends a wireless signal to the impulse generator that is placed adjacent to on of the main nerves causing pain.
On the impulse generator is a receiving chip that accepts the wireless signaling and translates the power into pulsating signals that are delivered to the affected nerve. Impulse generators are 7cm long and only 1.35mm in diameter.
Only Need
1 cm Incision
When we say “a procedure” we mean simple. While there are risks with any surgery or procedure, our small impulse generator is placed under the skin 2mm to 4mm away from the affected nerve. The area where a small 1 cm incision is made, is numbed by commonly used local numbing agents.
This is done to minimize the discomfort when making the small incision. After a few minutes, the impulse generator is placed inside of a guide and placed along the nerve. Most procedures will utilize a form of imaging to ensure proper placement.
Stitching Will
Be Minimal
Once the impulse generator is in place, we test to ensure proper connection and stimulation. Your transmitter has 3 main testing settings. You also have 24 personal settings.
You will only feel the power output during testing. It is a simple electrical impulse that is not painful. Once you feel this, we reduce the number down to still provide relief, but not feel the impulses.
We then place a couple of stitches and bandage the area.
Wireless
Antenna Sleeve
When you go home, you will have two comfortable wraps to place the antenna and the controller inside. You will use the device for a period of 2 to 5 hours per day. With the wrap, you can continue your daily affairs and not be tied down due to debilitating medications.
The sports wrap provides you with the ability to walk or run, while still providing relief. You DO NOT need to wear the device ALL DAY. You are free to use at home or on the go. Only 2 to 5 hours per day. You can also skip some days if needed.

Percutaneous Implantable Pulse Generator (pIPG)
Important Safety Information & Adverse Events Strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) could cause injury, change in therapy, or device damage. Safety has not been established for using MiniStim PNS with other active implantable or body-worn medical devices. These devices include other neurostimulation systems, insulin pumps, automated external defibrillators (AED), cochlear implants, and wearable medical sensors.
Safety has not been established for radio frequency (RF) ablation, radiation therapy, laser procedures, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electrolysis, dental drills or ultrasonic probes, psychotherapeutic equipment, bone growth stimulators, electrocautery for patients with a pIPG implant in the vicinity of the device. Machinery and heavy equipment (including vehicles) should not be operated while using MiniStim PNS.
Implantation of a pIPG procedure risks include al- allergic or immune system response to implanted material, infection or hemorrhage or hematoma. Therapeutic use of the MiniStim PNS incurs the following risks: Undesired change in the stimulation, migration, erosion through the skin, and loss of therapeutic effect despite a functioning system. Please visit www.Ministim.com/safety for more info.
MiniStim is an FDA-Cleared Technology for chronic, permanent implantation to treat peripheral, intractable pain of a peripheral nerve origin. It is not intended to be utilized in the cranial facial region. Physicians should use their best judgment when deciding when and how to utilize MiniStim PNS.
