Pain relief in tune with life
Inceptiv™ spinal cord stimulator
The most advanced SCS system
with closed-loop technology
Transforming SCS therapy through sensing
Discover why Inceptiv™ is the most advanced SCS system with automatic closed-loop sensing† technology, the best full body 1.5T and 3T MRI access††, and the smallest and thinnest SCS device.
Need for consistent therapy
Fixed-output systems do not account for shifts in lead-to-spinal cord distance, which may result in inconsistent therapy dose1.
Patients need to make adjustments to deliver optimal therapy, regardless of waveform. Inconsistent dosing can lead to variable therapy experience.
Variability in electrode distance to spinal cord due to activities and position
Inceptiv™ SCS system senses† and responds.
Medtronic closed-loop senses† neural response and automatically adjusts stimulation to maintain consistent therapy during all patient activities.

† Sensing signals may not be measurable in all cases.
‡ DTM™ SCS superior outcomes demonstrated using open-loop SCS therapy.
†† Under specific conditions. Refer to product labeling for full list of conditions.
Your Inceptiv™ SCS patients can now
enjoy greater freedom.
More consistent therapy, more time for life
9 out of 10 patients preferred using the Inceptiv™ closed-loop algorithm over fixed-output stimulation.1
Automatic:
does not depend on adjustments from the patient to maintain stimulation
Responsive:
instantly adjusts therapy delivery in real time
Seamless:
provides consistent therapy while patients perform a full range of daily activities
