Intrathecal pumps are chosen for long-term therapy that requires medicine to be administered in precise quantities over a lengthy period of time. When necessary, the medication reservoir is refilled through an external needle injection through the infusion pump's self-sealing septum. Intrathecal pumps are utilized for specialized medication dosage transfer in the human body, notably within the spinal cord. In recent years, the precision of these devices has raised the need for intrathecal pumps.
An intrathecal pump is a surgically implanted technology that delivers powerful medications directly into or around the spinal cord. These pumps are primarily used in chronic pain and spasticity therapy to deliver strong medications in the intrathecal region, allowing pharmaceuticals to be administered in extremely low dosages. This considerably lowers the adverse effects of the medications. An intrathecal pump is a circular metal device used in the medical field to administer pharmaceuticals directly into the area between the spinal cord and the sheath that surrounds the spinal cord. The intrathecal pumps are tiny and are inserted under the skin of the belly with the assistance of a surgeon.
