FIND OUT IF HFX™ IS RIGHT FOR YOU
If your painful diabetes-related neuropathy isn’t responding to
treatment, talk to us about HFX™
Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN): A Chronic, Debilitating Pain with Limited Treatment Options
- 34 million people have diabetes in the U.S.(1) and roughly half of all adults with diabetes will suffer from diabetic neuropathy in their lifetime(2)
- ~2.3MM patients suffer from PDN with no relief from current treatments(3)
- Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by high blood sugars
- Nerve damage can cause pain and numbness that can make you more vulnerable to falls, burns, infections, ulcers, and longer-term complications.
- Painful diabetic neuropathy can significantly interfere with your quality of life, sleep, and functionality.
Current Treatments Leave Room for Improvement
- Treatment options include over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, physical therapy or injections, however for many patients these options are inadequate for long-term relief.
- Opioids, a commonly used tool in the management of diabetes related neuropathy, also present addiction potential, long-term dependence and show little evidence of improved function.

INTRODUCING HFX™ FOR PDN
A Safe and Effective Spinal Cord Stimulation System for Painful Diabetic Neuropathy, without the side effects of prescription medications.
- A new treatment is available to help you manage shooting, burning, pins and needles pain associated with diabetic neuropathy
- Significantly reduces pain and improves sleep(4)
- Reduces painful sensations like burning, tingling, and numbness(4)
- Patients can evaluate HFX in a temporary trial before having the device implanted. The implant procedure requires a minimally invasive outpatient procedure.
- 92% of patients were satisfied with their treatment(4)
