| The Renova-DT™
Cortical Stimulation System* is designed to treat
major depressive disorder. The Renova-DT
System delivers targeted stimulation to the prefrontal
cortex, the portion of the brain’s surface associated
with behavior and emotion.
The Renova-DT System consists of an implanted
pulse generator (IPG), cortical stimulation lead and
a programming system.
- Implantable pulse generator (IPG) - an electrical
stimulator that is implanted in the pectoral (upper
chest) area.
- Cortical stimulation lead - an electrode connected
to the IPG, which is used to deliver stimulation
to the cortex. The electrode is placed over the
dura, a protective membrane that covers the brain's
surface.
- Programming system - a handheld computer, which
allows communication with the implanted IPG device.
This system allows the clinician to change stimulation
parameters and to turn the device on and off.
*Caution: Investigational device. Limited
by Federal (or U.S.) law to investigational use.
