Different Outcomes. Different Technology.

When you’ve done everything right but aren’t getting the results you want for your SCS patient, try something different. Using the first and only MRI conditional adapters, offered exclusively from Boston Scientific, you can connect to leads from other manufacturers while maintaining your patient’s MRI access. Experience the difference today. 

Experience proven salvage success

Clinical data shows that the majority of patients studied who did not respond to another manufacturer’s SCS therapy found pain relief when their leads were connected to the Boston Scientific SCS System.1,2

salvage success for failed competitive trials1

Long-term salvage success

In a published clinical study, salvage patients reported durable pain relief out to an average of 1.4 years

Mean NRS Overall Pain decreases from about 7.3 pre-salvage to about 3.2 at ~1.4-year follow-up (N=43–49); p<0.0001.

At no cost to you, your Boston Scientific representative can come to your clinic during your competitive trial and use MRI conditional adapters to help salvage your patient’s trial.

Different technology that gets it right the first time

Maximize your trials

Boston Scientific’s FAST™ Therapy (Fast-Acting Sub-Perception Therapy) delivers profound, paresthesia-free pain relief in as little as 2 minutes, allowing your patients to experience relief before they even leave the clinic.3-7†

Physicians' clinical perspectives

Data-driven swaps deliver relief

60% of patients that swap to Boston Scientific have positive results, and they obtain pain relief and function. So, we did a full system swap (leads and IPG). She has a WaveWriter Alpha and is reporting 75% pain relief, improved function, and she’s quite happy with the therapy.”

– Michael Esposito, MD

FAST Therapy drives trial efficiency

What really makes a difference now is we have patients know within two days, three days if they want to proceed with a permanent. The onset is so quick that it’s really changed completely how I practice.”

Why is WaveWriter Alpha™ Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) System Different?

M8/S8 adapter.

First-and-Only MRI Conditional Adapters

Connect to Medtronic and Abbott trials and implants with the M8 and S8 MRI Conditional Adapters. Direct connect for Nevro trials and implants.§ MRI conditionality not evaluated for direct connect.**

Multiple Independent Current Control (MICC) and Illumina 3D™ Technology

With MICC, a dedicated power source for each contact enables a precise targeting of pain. With the Illumina 3D neural targeting algorithm, an anatomical model of the spinal cord enables precise targeting of the central point of stimulation (CPS).
