The Senza Omnia can operate at frequencies between 2 and 10,000 Hertz, a range unheard of in a spinal cord stimulator. It is a rechargeable device and is guaranteed to maintain functionality for at least ten years, regardless of the stimulation regimen that ends up working best for the patient.
It is also MRI-conditional, meaning that patients will be able to safely receive MRI scans, as long as certain precautions are taken.
The Senza Omnia appears to be an improved version of the company’s original Senza that introduced high frequency spinal cord stimulation for pain control. The Omnia features a new physician programmer that should be easier to operate, a new patient remote control that has been slimmed down and made more intuitive, as well as the implant being more amenable to future upgrades with newly developed waveforms or frequencies.
