Overview
Empower patients to alleviate unpredictable pain
The myPTM™ patient therapy manager provides customised pain relief options for patients. Using the clinician programmer, clinicians set a continuous, therapeutic daily dose and create limitations on the maximum allowable patient activated boluses. The myPTM™ provides patients with the flexibility of on-demand pain management within preset parameters of their clinician. The flexibility of bolusing with myPTM™ helps eliminate the need to treat unpredictable pain with systemic medication.1
