FDA OK’s Boston Scientific product
Boston Scientific Corp. said it has received regulatory approval to market an accessory to one of its pain management device in the United States.
The Natick-based medical device maker said that the Food and Drug Administration has given its approval to the company's Clik Anchor for its Precision Plus Spinal Cord Stimulator System (SCS), which Boston Scientific describes as "the world's first rechargeable SCS device for chronic pain management."
According to Boston Scientific, spinal cord stimulation is a reversible therapy that manages pain through an implantable pulse generator and external devices that control therapy and charge an implant.
The company's press release noted that an estimated 26 million Americans experience frequent back pain.
