Intrathecal pumps, also known as spinal infusion pumps, are medical devices used to deliver medication directly into the spinal fluid. These pumps are often employed in the treatment of chronic pain, spasticity, and other conditions that require precise and controlled drug delivery.
In November 2023, Flowonix Medical, a leading player in intrathecal drug delivery systems, received premarket approval from the FDA for its Prometra Pump. This expands the pump's indications to include the intrathecal infusion of baclofen for spasticity management in pediatric patients aged 4 to 11 years This approval opens up a new market segment for Flowonix and potentially improves quality of life for young patients suffering from spasticity.
Medtronic Launches Intellisphere Mini Pump with Improved Functionality: Medtronic, another major player in the intrathecal pumps market, announced the launch of its Intellisphere Mini pump in May 2023. This next-generation pump features several upgrades, including a smaller and lighter design, extended battery life, and improved programmability. The Intellisphere Mini caters to the growing demand for smaller and more discreet devices, offering enhanced comfort and convenience for patients.
