Quick summary
This St. Jude Medical Lamitrode 3245 is a lead used in implanted spinal cord stimulator systems for pain relief. The 31 reports mostly describe leads that stopped working well — high impedance readings, leads that shifted position or broke, and stimulators that would not deliver enough strength — so patients got little pain relief and some underwent surgery to remove or replace the system. No deaths were reported, and all 31 reports involved injuries. There are no recalls naming this device.
