The Medtronic Difference

DECADES OF DBS THERAPY EXPERIENCE.

As a global leader in medical technology, we continually seek ways to improve the lives of people. DBS development started in 1987 and Medtronic has been leading the way ever since. Medtronic DBS Therapy systems are rigorously tested and FDA approved.

LEADERS IN MRI ACCESSIBILITY FOR DBS PATIENTS

  • Approximately seven out of ten DBS-eligible patients with movement disorders may need an MRI within ten years of receiving their device.1
  • This is why we developed the first full-body MR Conditional DBS system — which gives you access to this important diagnostic imaging tool should you need it in the future.

A COMPLETE SYSTEM THAT BRINGS COMPLETE BENEFITS

With a complete Medtronic system — lead(s), extension(s), and neurostimulator — you get:

  • Warranty coverage
  • World-class support
  • A system backed by safety and clinical evidence: Your safety is our priority, which is why Medtronic DBS Therapy is backed by decades of research and the highest level of clinical evidence.

Signal may not be present or measurable in all patients. Clinical benefits of brain sensing have not been established.

For median energy use in DBS for patients with Parkinson's disease, with moderate (up to two months per year) BrainSense™ technology usage.

Medtronic DBS systems are MR Conditional and safe in the MR environment as long as certain conditions are met. If these conditions are not met, there is a significant risk of tissue lesions from component heating, especially at the lead electrodes, resulting in serious and permanent injury, including coma, paralysis, or death. Refer to the MRI Guidelines for Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation Systems for a complete list of conditions: http://professional.medtronic.com/mri.
