The NSS-2 BRIDGE is a percutaneous nerve field stimulator (PNFS) system, that can be used as an aid to reduce the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, through application to branches of Cranial Nerves V, VII, IX and X, and the occipital nerves identified by transillumination. NSS-2 BRIDGE stimulator is a battery-operated micro-stimulation appliance weighing approximately 5 grams designed as a disposable product for a single use. The NSS-2 BRIDGE stimulator is placed behind the patient’s ear and connected to stimulation needles on the auricle. NSS-2 BRIDGE stimulator offers regulartherapy over several days. The appliance transmits low-frequency electric pulses to exposed nerve endings.
A body-worn, electronic device intended to provide percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) applied close to cranial/peripheral nerves around the external ear to achieve remote symptom relief mediated by central nervous system (CNS) pathways and structures [e.g., amygdala, spinal cord neurons]; depending on the treatment protocol and device settings it may be used for opioid withdrawal symptoms (e.g., bone/joint aches, tremor, anxiety), or irritable bowel syndrome [IBS]-associated functional abdominal pain (FAP). It consists of an electrical pulse generator with minimally-invasive electrodes, and accessories (e.g., adhesives, transilluminator). This is a single-use device.
