PERIPHERAL NERVE STIMULATION
OUTSMART PAIN!
The SPRINT® PNS System is a short-term treatment offering long-term relief from chronic pain.
- Short-term, 60-day treatment
- No permanent implant
- Minimally-invasive and drug-free
The SPRINT PNS System is indicated for up to 60 days in the back and/or extremities for:
- Symptomatic relief of chronic, intractable pain, post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain;
- Symptomatic relief of post-traumatic pain; and
- Symptomatic relief of post-operative pain.
Clinically proven.
The SPRINT PNS System has been studied extensively for low back pain, shoulder pain, post-amputation pain, and chronic and acute post-operative pain, and is cleared for use up to 60 days.
75% of patients reported
significant & sustained pain relief
Wearable, controllable technology.
A breakthrough technology to treat chronic pain, the SPRINT System sends mild electrical pulses directly to the nerves, which can reduce pain signals. The level of stimulation is easily controlled with a hand-held remote to comfortably provide pain relief.

SPINAL CORD STIMULATION
HOW IT WORKS:
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
Evidence shows that delivering mild electrical pulses to the nerves interrupts the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thus reducing pain.
SCS is a well-established pain treatment used in the U.S. for over 30 years.
It includes a small implanted device that transmits mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord.
The pulses calm the nerves and reduce pain signals to the brain.
Why choose HF10
Get significant pain relief
4/5 people experience meaningful long-term pain relief1
Regain your independence
HF10 helps more people return to everyday activities2
Try before you decide
You can evaluate HF10 in a one-week temporary trial
HF10 is covered by nearly all major insurance plans including Medicare.
Designated as superior by the FDA to other SCS systems
Significant relief for both back and leg pain¹
You can leave it on 24/7:
No driving restrictions. No sleep restrictions.
No tingling sensation, you just feel pain relief
Requires limited to no daily remote usage
10+ year battery life2
88 %
of patients treated with HF10 are more independent because of their reduced pain.1
Frequently asked questions
I’ve tried everything else. Why should I try this?
HF10 has been proven to deliver significantly better and longer lasting pain relief from chronic back and leg pain than other SCS systems. It has also proven successful for people who have had surgery or tried other pain therapies.
How will my doctor know if it’s working?
You will be involved every step of the way, giving your doctor feedback and making sure HF10 is programmed to meet your needs.
Is it safe?
Yes. HF10 safely delivers stimulation that doesn’t interfere with normal sensory perception, cognitive abilities, or motor functions. It doesn’t interact with pain medications or require major surgery, and it is completely reversible.
How long will the trial period last?
The trial is typically 5 to 7 days, depending on the need for adjustments to tailor HF10 to you.
Are there any restrictions after the trial procedure?
Your doctor will tell you what you can and cannot do after the procedure. In general, the device and dressings must remain dry to avoid infection. To ensure the leads stay in the right place, you should not lift your arms above your shoulders or lift heavy objects. Please consult your doctor before engaging in any physical activity.
Will I feel the stimulation?
No. Unlike other spinal cord stimulation systems, HF10 does not create a tingling sensation, known as paresthesia. You may have some procedural pain, but this should subside within 1 or 2 days.
