Patsy Newitt -

Suzanne Manzi, MD, co-founder of Houston-based Performance Pain & Sports Medicine, implanted her first patient with Medtronic's Vanta spinal cord stimulator. 

The procedure was performed alongside staff at Memorial Ambulatory Surgery Center in Houston, according to a Sept. 9 LinkedIn post from Greg Hundemer, a Medtronic sales representative. 

The FDA approved Vanta in June. The device has a battery life of up to 11 years, offering almost twice the device life of competitive primary cell devices.
