Dive Brief Medtronic has received Food and Drug Administration approval for its Inceptiv closed-loop spinal cord stimulator (SCS) for the treatment of chronic pain, the company said Friday. The closed-loop system is meant to reduce overstimulation compared to the open-loop technology used by Medtronic’s rivals, such as Abbott, Boston Scientific and Nevro. Evercore ISI analysts think Medtronic has lost share to Abbott over the past two years, and the launch of Inceptiv could help the company regain ground in the coming quarters. Dive Insight Users of open-loop SCS receive a predetermined amount of stimulation, which is set when the physician programs the device, regardless of what the patient is doing. The fixed output can result in moments of overstimulation that are uncomfortable, potentially leading users to choose a lower, less effective level of stimulation. Open-loop efficacy may fall over time, too. Closed-loop systems, such as Medtronic’s Inceptiv device, adjust their ...
