| The Renova-TT™
Cortical Stimulation System* is designed to treat
tinnitus. Tinnitus is the perception of sound where
no external source is present and can be extremely
debilitating. The Renova-TT System delivers
targeted stimulation to the auditory cortex, the portion
of the brain’s surface responsible for perceiving
sound.
The Renova-TT 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.
