Switch to the Vercise Genus DBS System with confidence

The Vercise™ Adapters are a battery conversion system designed by Boston Scientific for DBS patients with Medtronic® or Abbott® technology. Switching from an existing IPG to a Boston Scientific IPG has been shown to improve patient symptoms or reduce side effects without the need to change a patient’s leads.

The Vercise M8 Adapter and Vercise Adapter S8 are MR conditional, maintaining your patients access to this important diagnostic imaging tool should they need it in the future.
