Intramuscular diaphragm/phrenic nerve electrical stimulation systems are medical devices that help patients with diaphragm dysfunction by electrically stimulating the phrenic nerve to enable breathing. These systems work by contracting the diaphragm rhythmically, allowing patients to draw breath in a way that mimics natural breathing.
When browsing this category, readers should understand that these devices typically consist of implanted electrodes, an external pulse generator, and connecting cables. They are regulated medical devices that control breathing parameters through electrical stimulation, but specific regulatory classifications vary by jurisdiction.
