- The Vercise Genus DBS system small, thin and equipped with Bluetooth connectivity to provide enhanced communi- cation and ease of use
- With the VerciseCartesia Directional lead, you can precisely stimulate and refine directional stimulation in both monopolar and bipolar settings
- With Cartesia 3D, precisely shape and steer stimulation where it’s needed most and leverage more programming flexibility to help manage a patient’s ever evolving needs
Benefits
- With MICC we can adjust the amount of current sent to each level and control the shape of the electrical field
- Directional lead allow to steer the current precisely to the area of the brain we want and maximize the stimulation options in order to manage side effects
- Rechargeable battery offers a 25-year lifespan
to lessen the risk of repeat surgeries - Wireless Charging System and Wireless Remote control for intuitive controls and a broad telemetry range simplify the patient experience
