Diaphragm pacemakers are available to help improve breathing, speech and quality of life for people with spinal cord injuries and other illnesses where the diaphragm is paralyzed who use a mechanical ventilator. Diaphragm pacing can potentially relieve dependence on a ventilator.  Talk with your doctor if you think you might be a good candidate for this implant.  Once you have a prescription, we are happy to supply the systems and their accessories.
