HOW IT WORKS SPINAL CORD STIMULATION

Refer to technical manual and Instruction for Use (IFU) for complete list of indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions.

Medtronic Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) therapy is indicated for chronic pain relief.

OUTCOMES

  • Improved ability to participate in activities of daily living1,2
  • Indicated for extremities, back, and/or leg pain relief1,2
  • Technology that automatically adjusts with movement of the body

HOW SCS WORKS

The neurostimulator interrupts pain signals that travel between your spinal cord and brain. The device, similar to a pacemaker, is surgically implanted under the skin. It delivers mild electrical impulses along implanted wires to an area near your spine.

BATTERY PERFORMANCE

Powered by Medtronic Overdrive™ battery technology, the Intellis™ system features:

  • Fast battery recharge
  • Sustained performance over 9 years
  • Small implantable neurostimulator

 

ACCESS TO MRI

Sometime in the future, an MRI may be needed to diagnose an unrelated condition.

Approximately 82% of SCS-implanted patients will likely need at least one MRI within five years of implant.

The spinal cord stimulation system uses Medtronic SureScan™ MRI technology, which gives the same full-body MRI† access as non-implanted patients — now and in the future.

DATA HELD IN YOUR NEUROSTIMULATOR

The pain therapy information, including your position diary, unique therapy settings and spine images, is stored on the Intellis device.

If patient were to travel or relocate another physician could access the secure information directly from the patient device.

*

Every patient experience is unique. Not everyone who receives Medtronic neurostimulation therapy will experience the same results.
