Wavewriter Alpha

[BobBarker]

Looks like a really nice lineup. 16 and 32 contact systems in both primary and rechargeable models. All with what appears to be excellent mri compatibility. Looks like they all have the same controllers and programming options as well. What I also think will be interesting is the ability to trial with 2 16 contact leads and then implant the wide, medium, or short spaced 8 contact leads. The size and profile of the 16 contact rechargeable looks to be the same as the Boston Precision which is a pretty ideal. If we get a good rep, I might jump in. We haven’t had a consistent BSX rep in 4 years and I don’t think we have anyone at all currently.

...still gotta use those connector thingies?

 

[BobBarker]

Yes, if you implant 32 contacts. I don’t plan on doing that. Wide space 8’s should cover 2.5 vertebral bodies

 

[BobBarker]

the linear 3-6 8 contact has the same span as an Infinion 16 contact

You sound like an ad from the L code days.

Short of game changing clinical data....

 

[BobBarker]

The data is all biased. I’m going to rely solely on anecdotes and my own experiences regarding SCS.

I’m eager for it to arrive in the U.S. I‘m digging the new leads. I trial with Infinion but implant the Linear 8 contact leads and would love to have the same coverage.

im sorry, you base your decision making on anecdotes and my own experience?

what proof do you have that shows that your experience is not biased?

fyi, there is only 1 interventionalist out of 8 in this system that uses BSx. at least 7(that ive talked to in the past 6 months) find that BSx does not work better, costs more, and the rep is annoying. but this is anecdotal too.

well, all but the costs more part. and the rep being annoying. that I can verify.



what data outside of what BSx has created shows that multiple contacts leads to better pain management?

 

[BobBarker]

I don’t use Boston either. Like I said we haven’t had a rep in 4 years.

 

[BobBarker]

All of the companies data is self created. MDT/ABT/BSX/NVRO.

Always read the stim threads hoping it won’t be like the last one, but alas it always is.

I’d you don’t use what I use, you are dumb.

Listen pal, if you aint condescending, you aint voting for me.

Did you hear about the arrogant dwarf who broke out of prison by climbing down the wall using bedsheets tied together. He was a little condescending.
