Yes. Metal detectors and antitheft devices may detect your spinal cord stimulation system, but your patient identification card will help to clear you through these checkpoints. Thousands of people have implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers, so the security personnel will know what to do. When flying, it is important to follow the flight crew’s instructions and turn the stimulator off for takeoff and landing.

Gastric stimulator is applying 2 electrodes on to the stomach wall laparoscopically and connected to a stimulator kept under the skin. This will make one feel full and helps to lose excess weight to the order of 30 – 50%. ^TOP^

Dorsal Column Spinal Cord Stimulator is a specialized device, which stimulates nerves by tiny electrical impulses via small electrical wires placed on the spinal cord. Currently at TPM, Dorsal Column Spinal Cord Stimulator is offered to patients with chronic and severe pain, who have not responded to other treatment modalities. Most of these patients are suffering form RSD/CRPPS or back and leg pain after back surgeries.

The Aneros Stimulator is one of a kind!! It is medically researched, designed and patented. Specifically, Aneros is designed in accordance with modern scientific knowledge of anatomy combined with ancient Oriental awareness of erogenous zones and pleasure centers. The Aneros Stimulator pleases all of your neglected erogenous zones at once.

People with stimulators should not get MRIs. The electromagnetic field generated by an MRI is not compatible with the SCS system. Please consult your product manual for further information.

Patients with demand-type cardiac pacemakers should not be implanted with SCS systems. Check with your doctor if you are unsure about what kind of pacemaker you have.

No. Spinal cord stimulation should not be used while driving or operating heavy equipment. When you are driving, you will need to turn the stimulator off. The different positions needed for driving may cause the stimulation to vary considerably. These variations in stimulation could be distracting, taking your focus off your driving. However, you can ride as a passenger with the stimulator on.

We use 15-passenger vans and a gear truck for each expedition. The truck, which we call the commissary truck, carries all the food, water, and tents we need as well as our mobile kitchen and our personal gear. It also carries our scientific equipment. These include GPS units, a selective library, many art supplies, and minidisc recorders for recording digital audio.

Teenagers who eat lots of bread these days are most likely to get acne more than adults do. Studies show that acne comes up in 60% of 12-year-old and below and 95% of 18-year-old & teenagers. There are people who are having quite emotional and psychological problems due to acne as it proves a friend who is hard to get away. If you are not suffering from acne, you should consider yourself lucky and make sure to adapt preventive methods.

This is a battery-saving feature. The red and green lights flash on and off when making colloidal silver but to save on batteries, they do not flash when the stimulator probes are plugged in. It's best to use a Wall Adaptor when making colloidal silver to save on batteries.

It is very difficult to predict if the procedure will indeed help you or not. For that reason temporary wires are placed to determine if this device will be effective to relieve your pain or not. Typically, patients will have a 50 to 70 % reduction in their pain.

Auditory and visual stimulator options are available with the Cascade and now the Transcranial stimulator known as TCS-1.

When a constant current stimulator is used, the stimulator will attempt to deliver the requested current through the stimulation electrode impedance to the limit of the stimulator’s voltage capacity. The maximum voltage that a constant current stimulator can support is termed the compliance voltage. The maximum current that a constant voltage stimulator can supply is the compliance current.

They are constructed of MDF wood and if painted, are painted in automotive 2-pack paint to a high gloss finish. The seat is made of fiberglass or carbonfiber and the pedal and steering boxes are made of metal. There are no cheap plastic components here. Only quality components are used with proper electrical switches for the paddle shifters and sequential shifter.

LED lamp indicates when the (EMG) "trigger level" is reached and the electrical stimulation impulse (NMES) is given.

Yes, you can shower and swim after implantation of a permanent conventional or rechargeable system. However, you will need to avoid water during the brief trial period.

There are two basic types of bone growth stimulators, external and implantable, which may use several types of fields (electromagnetic and/or ultrasonic). If you have an implantable bone growth stimulator and a programmable pump, it is recommended that your doctor hold the programming head for the bone growth stimulator at least 10cm (4 inches) away from the pump. This will minimise any potential interference. An electronic circuit controls the programmable pump.

Contact the Customer Service department for assistance. They will find a local representative in your area to assist you further.

Yes. When purchased, each stimulator includes 1 set of basic electrodes (4 small and 2 large electrodes)

A travel estimate is added to the basic fee. The estimate charged will vary depending on the means of transportation needed for the seminar presenter. For this reason many churches choose a seminar presenter who lives closer to the seminar location. Overnight Estimate – More than a 2 hours drive one-way, overnight stay required - $250.00 estimate. Flying Estimate – If flight travel is required, $700 estimate to cover the cost of air and ground travel, accommodations, and meals.

Yes. Please tell your social worker. We will need at least 30 days notice for Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis.

What are the advantages of traveling with a group? If you still want to do an individual trip, consider these-

You may receive health care at any VA health care facility in the country. To minimize any “out of pocket” expenses while traveling, you should familiarize yourself with the location of any VA health care facilities in the area. VA’s authority to reimburse you for care in non-VA facilities is very limited. More Questions on this topic? Ask it here http://www.hadit.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1455

Unaccompanied minors are restricted from traveling on some flights. Unaccompanied minors booked in violation of these restrictions will be denied boarding and/or be subject to additional fees for re-routing. The WAICU Travel Desk can provide you with these restrictions.
