This is the first 16-contact percutaneous lead for spinal cord stimulation. Traditionally, leads, which deliver electrical pulses from an implantable pulse generator to the spinal cord, have had a maximum of eight contact points. The extra leads will provide better coverage of the painful area of the spinal cord.
The Infinion 16 Lead will be introduced at the North American Neuromodulation Society meeting that begins today.
