The Codman Model 3000 pump accurately delivers intrathecal baclofen for severe spasticity. This reliable infusion device offers a convenient option with complication rates comparable to other implantable pumps.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Severe spasticity significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Intrathecal baclofen therapy is a key treatment for managing severe spasticity.
  • Implantable infusion pumps are crucial for continuous drug delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the Codman Model 3000 Constant Flow Implantable Infusion Pump for intrathecal baclofen delivery.
  • Evaluate pump accuracy, reliability, safety, and efficacy in treating severe spasticity.
  • Examine the unique features of the Codman Model 3000 pump.

Main Methods:

  • 17 patients with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy received the pump.
  • Pump accuracy and treatment efficacy were monitored at regular intervals.

  • All complications related to the intrathecal drug delivery system were reviewed.

    • Main Results:

    • The pump demonstrated an average accuracy of 94%, ranging from 90-97%.
    • Expected therapeutic efficacy was achieved.
    • No primary pump-related complications occurred; reported issues were similar to other devices.

    Conclusions:

    • The Codman Model 3000 pump is an accurate and reliable choice for intrathecal baclofen therapy.
    • Its features offer convenience for patients requiring continuous infusion.
    • Complication profile is consistent with existing implantable infusion technologies.
