Boston Scientific has received CE Mark for the Vercise Primary Cell (PC) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) System. The Vercise PC System is intended to provide precise neural targeting to address the varying needs of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD), primary and secondary dystonia, and essential tremor. The System is a non-rechargeable treatment option that also powers the Vercise DBS Directional Lead, the first commercially available eight-contact segmented lead with current steering.

"The dual portfolio offering of a non-rechargeable system with current steering as well as a rechargeable system provides physicians and patients the ability to choose a platform that suits their needs while benefiting from the most advanced stimulation technology," said Prof. Dr. Volker Coenen, medical director of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, University Medical Center Freiburg.
