Boston Scientific launched the Precision Novi Spinal Cord Stimulator System in Europe.
Here are five things to know:
1. The system has the CE Mark to treat chronic pain.
2. Precision Novi is a 16-contact primary cell device with an enhanced implant shape designed for patient comfort using primary cell therapy.
3. The Illumina 3D Software enables physicians to target pain precisely with point-and-click methodology.
4. The system is the smallest high-capacity primary cell device available currently.
5. The system couples with a wireless remote so patients have flexibility and control over the pain management.
"The simplicity of the programming software saves valuable time in the operating theatre, efficiently allowing me to achieve and maintain comfortable therapy for my patients," said Dr. Simon Thomson, a consultant in pain management and neuromodulation at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals in the United Kingdom.
