Overview
Pain relief in tune with life
Transforming SCS therapy through sensing†
Discover why the Inceptiv™ SCS system is the most advanced with automatic closed-loop sensing† technology, the best full body 1.5T and 3T MRI access‡, and the thinnest SCS device.
Need for consistent therapy
Fixed-output systems do not account for shifts in lead-to-spinal cord distance, which may result in inconsistent therapy dose.4
With fixed-output SCS systems, patients need to make adjustments to deliver optimal therapy, regardless of waveform. Under- and overdosing can lead to variable therapy experience.
Variability in electrode distance to spinal cord due to activities and position
Transforming SCS through sensing
Inceptiv™ SCS system senses† neural response and automatically adjusts stimulation in real time to maintain consistent therapy during all patient activities4-5. It addresses the variability in patient experience seen with fixed output SCS systems that may be due to inconsistent dosing. Overall, Inceptiv™ represents a significant advancement and is poised to transform SCS therapy options through sensing† now and tomorrow.
Automatic:
does not depend on adjustments from the patient to maintain stimulation
Responsive:
instantly adjusts therapy delivery in real time
Seamless:
provides consistent therapy while patients perform a full range of daily activities
Closed-loop algorithm senses neural response†,6
Your Inceptiv™ SCS patients can now enjoy greater freedom.
More consistent therapy, more time for life
Best full-body MRI access
The first and only full-body 1.5T and 3T MRI SCS system‡
84%
of patients are expected to need an
MRI within 5 years post implant7
90%
access to MRI scanners8,†
100%
access compared to 57% for Abbott, Boston Scientific, and Nevro patients due to high electrode impedance at 5 years†‡9
Inceptiv™ offers the most access to life-changing diagnostic imaging‡
Inceptiv™ advantage with SureScan™ portfolio
✔ Able to scan high impedance or fractured lead
✔ Able to scan fully discharged device
✔ 1.5T and 3T MR conditional whole body normal operating mode
✔ Able to scan patient in prone position, e.g., breast MRI
