Backed
by two decades of Medtronic's experience in implantable technologies, the
SynergyT system was developed to address the limitations associated
with single-lead neurostimulation systems and to meet the need for greater
flexibility in managing different types of pain and
laterality of pain.
The SynergyT neurostimulation
system is the first totally implantable dual channel system available
for the management of chronic, intractable pain. Furthermore, SynergyT
is Medtronic's most powerful neurostimulation system, providing greater
pain relief for a longer duration and greater convenience with less frequent
battery replacement.
Neurostimulation with
SynergyT increases the chance of successfully managing more types
of pain amongst a wider range of patients:
- The dual-stimulation
capability of SynergyT confers greater flexibility, on either one
or two leads, to generate paraesthesia and therefore to provide more
effective pain relief. If one
lead is not sufficient to cover pain adequately, a second lead can be
added at a later date
- The use of dual
channels, which means that up to 8 electrode options can be programmed
to two independent patterns of stimulation, enables physicians to cover
changing pain patterns over time
