FDA approves NeuRx diaphragm pacing system for use in spinal cord- injured patients
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System (DPS) for spinal cord-injured patients who are dependent on ventilators for breathing. The light-weight, battery-powered electronic DPS allows patients to breathe and speak more naturally, while eliminating...AIDS can Be Prevented by Using Diaphragm During Intercourse
