VNS Therapy™ is a neuromodulation treatment designed for people with drug-resistant epilepsy 4 years of age and older with partial onset seizures. It can safely lead to fewer and shorter seizures and better recovery after seizures and has been shown to offer quality-of-life benefits that can help patients overcome obstacles they face in everyday life.
VNS Therapy™ stimulates the vagus nerve, sending mild electrical pulses to the brain to help prevent seizures. Uses an implantable generator and lead and can be programmed to fit the needs of each patient. Unlike invasive brain surgeries, VNS Therapy™ involves a short outpatient procedure that usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Treatment is delivered automatically, maximizing adherence for optimal seizure control
SenTiva® is an implantable and programmable pulse generator for the treatment of refractory epilepsy. It provides responsive stimulation to rapid increases in heart rate that may be associated with seizures, allows day-night programming, scheduled programming, and logging of low heart rate and prone position events.
SenTiva® detects and responds to rapid increases in heart rate that may be associated with a seizure
-
- In clinical trials, over 60% of seizures treated ended during automatic stimulation.
- The closer the stimulation to seizure onset, the shorter the seizure duration
Customized control for when your patients need it
-
- Tailor programming for specific periods of the day
- Select which parameters will change, what time the change will occur, and the duration of the change
Safely titrate patients automatically without the need for office visits
-
- Program a titration schedule in one office visit
- Titration changes will be applied while the patient lives their life
- Simply titrate to the therapeutic range as fast as is tolerated
