Overview

High-performance neurostimulator

The lntellis™ with AdaptiveStim™ rechargeable neurostimulator is powered by proprietary Overdrive™ battery technology. It is designed to overcome limitations with other SCS systems and is optimized for the increased energy demands of High Dose (HD) therapy.

  • Smallest fully implantable spinal cord neurostimulator
  • <1 hour recharge — empty to full (approximate time)
  • Improved battery performance with minimal capacity fade (<5%)
  • Designed for patient comfort and more flexible placement during the implant
  • AdaptiveStim™ technology automatically adjusts the therapy as your patient moves, delivering a personalized treatment based on seven unique body positions.
  • Snapshot™ reporting, powered by AdaptiveStim™ technology, allows physicians to objectively monitor a patient's progress.

DTM™ SCS therapy

DTM™ SCS therapy is a proprietary therapy inspired by science and rooted in pre-clinical research, and adapted to provide superior clinical outcomes.

The DTM™ SCS 12-month RCT proved sustained superiority compared to conventional stimulation.

  • DTM™ SCS has an 84% back pain responder rate at 12-months.1
  • DTM™ SCS has a 69% profound back pain response rate (≥80% pain relief) at 12 months.1

Unmatched full-body MRI access

  • SureScan™ MRI technology allows MRI scans anywhere on the body enabling diagnostic care.*
  • Provide patients the same access as non-implanted patients* — now and in the future.
  • Shielded leads and proprietary device safeguards help patients safely get an MRI.*
  • Access matters — 98% of patients are expected to need at least 1 MRI within 10 years of implant.2

Creating new connections

The Medtronic adaptor extension creates a connection with certain Boston Scientific™ or Nevro™ leads. This enables patients with existing leads to gain access to superior DTM™ SCS therapy on Intellis™ INS.1 For patients wanting rapid recharge with Intellis™ INS or recharge-free convenience with Vanta™  INS, the adaptor extension allows you to offer meaningful pain relief with DTM™ SCS endurance therapy.3
