Data-driven Theragen ActaStim-S Spine Fusion Stimulator System
Improves Patient Postoperative Outcomes
PHOENIX — Spine Gear, an independent medical device distributor providing leading spine technologies to surgeons in Arizona, announced they are the first and primary distributor of Theragen’s advanced ActaStim®-S spine fusion bone growth stimulator system.
The ActaStim®-S is the first major advancement in bone growth stimulation in nearly 20 years, intentionally designed to improve patient compliance during the postoperative process and increase spine fusion surgery success rates with clinically proven therapy.
The ActaStim®-S is a pocket-sized, non-invasive, wearable stimulator that promotes healing and allows patients to perform their recommended daily activities while receiving the benefits of clinically proven stimulation. Patients who were assessed 12 months after surgery using the same proven therapy delivered by ActaStim®-S were 2.3 times more likely to achieve overall success with nine months of treatment, regardless of the type of fusion or prior history of surgery.
“Spine Gear is proud to bridge the gap in delivering innovative spine technologies and solutions to surgeons in Arizona aimed toward improving patient outcomes,” Bilal Abdur-Rahman, CEO and founder of Spine Gear, stated. “Thousands of bone growth stimulators are prescribed to patients each year in Arizona to aid in post-operative healing. With the demand for this therapy slated to grow, Spine Gear has expanded what physicians can offer to patients with this minimally invasive treatment.”
The ActaStim®-S is also paired with digital health data connectivity to allow for improved patient engagement and deeper levels of insight into patient recovery. Patients who are prescribed ActaStim®-S have access to the system’s intuitive companion ActaStim®-Sync patient app which can inform patients of their usage time, activity levels and pain entry reporting.
With this information, physicians can create personalized, data-driven care and treatment plans to further accelerate and improve patient outcomes. This progress data can be an effective tool for keeping patients, and their physicians, connected throughout the postoperative healing journey.
“Patient and doctor decision points are often intertwined as they want to achieve the same goal: user-friendly options that help patients achieve better health outcomes,” Jim Elia, director of sales at Theragen, stated. “The ActaStim® System’s exceptional ease of use provides patients with knowledge and understanding into their own healing and keeps clinicians informed on how to best guide patients on their personal healing journey.”
