Covington, Louisiana—Dr. Richard Robertson, with Segura Neuroscience and Pain Center operating at AVALA, implanted the first-ever Medtronic Intellis™ Pro spinal cord stimulator on the Northshore of Louisiana. This groundbreaking achievement is only the fourth of its kind in the entire state, positioning our region at the forefront of cutting-edge medical technology.
The Medtronic Intellis Pro is not just a spinal cord stimulator; it represents a leap forward in patient care and innovation. At the heart of its design is its size—the smallest and thinnest spinal cord stimulator battery on the market—offering unparalleled comfort and discretion for patients. But its compact nature does not compromise its capabilities.
Revolutionary MRI Compatibility
One of the standout features of the Intellis Pro is its advanced MRI-safe technology. Fully 3T compatible, this device ensures patients can receive the pain relief they need without sacrificing access to critical imaging for other ongoing health conditions. This is particularly vital for patients requiring frequent MRIs to monitor and manage their overall health.
Maximizing Pain Relief with Advanced Technology
The Intellis Pro doesn’t just stop at innovation in hardware; its software capabilities are equally impressive. It allows patients to benefit from multiple pain relief programs simultaneously, tailoring stimulation to address diverse pain profiles. This multi-program functionality ensures optimal relief, improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic pain.
Dr. Robertson’s leadership in adopting this state-of-the-art technology underscores AVALA’s commitment to delivering world-class care.
“The Intellis Pro is a game-changer for our patients. Its compact design and advanced features offer unparalleled relief and flexibility. I’m honored to bring this innovation to the Northshore,” said Dr. Richard Robertson, Pain Management Specialist.
This milestone reflects Dr. Robertson’s dedication to advancing medical care and AVALA’s mission to support cutting-edge healthcare initiatives. With the Intellis Pro now available on the Northshore, patients can access a powerful new tool in their journey toward pain-free living.
