Medical technology has impacted the overall life expectancy. Many conditions traditionally considered fatal are now curable. Surviving chronic diseases and aging of the population have increased the number of people with chronic pain. Many devices are also available to manage severe refractory pain. As such, implantable drug-delivery system (IDDS) is a small battery-powered, programmable pump implanted under the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen and connected to a small catheter tunneled into the spine. Implantable drug-delivery system is used for the administration of morphine, ziconotide, baclofen, or their mixtures into the cerebrospinal fluid.
