Adam Lipson, MD, of Union, N.J.-based IGEA Brain and Spine, implanted the Nuvectra Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation System.
Here are four highlights:
1. Dr. Lipson is the first neurosurgeon in New Jersey to implant the device.
2. The Algovita SCS system offers 24 sources of current, reflecting the greatest set of parametric ranges.
3. The system also includes stretchable leads, which allows enhanced body movement compliance and reduced surgical lead volume.
4. Dr. Lipson specializes in brain tumors, pituitary tumors and minimally invasive spine surgery.
