Boston Scientific Receives CE Mark for GUIDE DBS System

Boston Scientific Corporation BSX has received CE Mark approval for use of the GUIDE™ DBS System, the world's first deep brain stimulation (DBS) visualization system.  GUIDE DBS provides clinicians with 3D visualization information that simulates stimulation output, which may reduce programming time and enable more precise targeting of therapy.  With GUIDE DBS, physicians are able to visualize the relative position of lead location and utilize stimulation field models within the brain. "GUIDE DBS is an important tool for advancing DBS," said Prof. Dr. Jens Volkmann, director of the Department of Neurology at the University Clinic Wurzburg in Germany. "The visualization of the stimulation fields is designed to improve therapy because physicians may take advantage of the unique programming options of the Vercise™ DBS System." The innovative GUIDE DBS technology, combined with the Vercise DBS System, was developed to provide the most advanced deep brain stimulation technology to neurologists, neurosurgeons and their patients. By visualizing the advanced stimulation options of the Vercise DBS System, clinicians can provide more tailored stimulation therapy to help meet patient needs. GUIDE DBS is based on more than a See full press release
