Vercise Genus™ Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) System

Vercise Genus™ Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) System

  • Vercise Genus™ Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) System
  • VerciseCartesia™ Directional Lead

The Vercise Genus Deep Brain Stimulation System With rechargeable and recharge-free 16-contacts is the latest innovations, equiped with MICC technonolgy (Multiple Independant Current Control)

  • 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
