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 smallest and 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.1

Patients need to make adjustments to deliver optimal therapy, regardless of waveform. Inconsistent dosing can lead to variable therapy experience.
 


Variability in electrode distance to spinal cord due to activities and position


The Inceptiv™ SCS system senses and responds.

Medtronic closed-loop senses neural response and automatically adjusts stimulation to maintain consistent therapy during all patient activities.

Your Inceptiv™ SCS patients can now enjoy greater freedom.

More consistent therapy, more time for life

Nine out of 10 patients preferred using the Inceptiv™ closed-loop algorithm over fixed-output stimulation.1


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
