NeuRx DPS®

NeuRx DPS is the world leading Diaphragm pacing System for use to reduce or replace mechanical Ventilation in Spinal Cord Injury patients.

NeuRxDPS

The NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System (DPS) uses electrical impulses to stimulate the diaphragm muscles of people with high spinal cord injuries who can no longer breathe on their own. It is used to strengthen the diaphragm muscles after they haven’t been used in a long time and then act as a breathing pacemaker to stimulate those muscles and allow for breathing without the help of a mechanical ventilator. The system can support patient breathing continuously for 4 or more hours each day.

The main components of the system include:

The NeuRx DPS electrodes are implanted into the muscles of the diaphragm during laparoscopic surgery near the nerve that controls the diaphragm, called the phrenic nerve, but without touching it or moving it. The electrode wires, or leads, run through the body to an exit site created in the chest. Outside the body, the leads are connected to an external pulse generator that controls the timing and level of diaphragm pacing stimulation. Each electrode can be controlled separately. A clinician programs the system to generate electrical current impulses to the diaphragm at a level that stimulates the muscles to expand and contract, allowing the patient to inhale and exhale.
