Neurostimulators
A battery-operated pacemaker-like device that contains a microelectronic circuitry for controlled electrical pulse generation. The neurostimulator is implanted subcutaneously near the clavicle. It generates electrical signals that are delivered by the extension and lead(s) to the targeted structures deep within the brain.
Kinetra Dual channel Neurostimulator
The Kinetra® dual-channel neurostimulator accommodates two extensions/leads, and thus provides bilateral neurostimulation from a single neurostimulator. The Kinetra neurostimulator is 61 mm x 76 mm x 13 mm and weighs 83 grams.
